I'm sure they could 'filter' down connections to give everyone 150kbps (3Mbps/200) if it came down to it.
Don't you mean 15 kbps?
(3Mbps=3000kbps, 3000/200=15kbps)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16343257 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 23:47:04 EDT Re: Wow, this sounds great! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16341966 xdeadhead : not in the middle of BUfu egypt they cant.

I will state again that for MOST users, this kind of bandwidth would be ample. I can name ten households I personally know that don't do either of these two things. All these people are intersted in is surfing the internet without the wait of dial-up, which this would be great for.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16341705 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 19:57:03 EDT Re: Wow, this sounds great! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16341049 en102 : I had 75 users + corporate email and web hosting on 6Mbps/608 for a while, and it was more than enough. I'm sure they could 'filter' down connections to give everyone 150kbps (3Mbps/200) if it came down to it. This isn't much different than Cable dishing out 8Mbps connections to multiple neighborhoods.

This is broadband in the forest, not in an urban market.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16341049 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 18:20:35 EDT Re: Wow, this sounds great! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16340999 RadioDoc : I'll guess that your company isn't keen on people running P2P or pulling video streams while at work, so of course that degree of overselling would not be a particular burden.

You can't assume that in a consumer market.

We had those same 900 users on 3 T1s and access was completely acceptable. Typical usage was only around 3mbps down and about 1mbps up. The thing to remember is that most users just want to surf the web and get important things done. Unless you have a few bandwidth hogs on that system, 3mbps sym. for even 200 users would be acceptable by MOST people's standards. This is especially true when dial-up is the only other option.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16340977 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 18:08:13 EDT Re: Wow, this sounds great! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16340854 en102 : That's 1.5 Mbps symmetrical, and uncompressed. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16340854 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 17:48:33 EDT Re: Wow, this sounds great! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16339775 DaSneaky1D : Two-bonded T1's can be had for much less.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16339775 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 15:13:16 EDT Re: Wow, this sounds great! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16339613 tiger72 :

you'd only need 200 users paying $50 to pay this thing off. In the suburban/rural fringe I think this is very doable!
You could go with 100 users to pay off the equipment in a few months. $5000/mo income, - recurring cost of the 2 T1's at ~$1500-2000/mo, and the rest goes to profit and paying off the equipment costs.

Isn't it only 1.5Mbit?

Put only a handful of people on that at one time and you'll be cruising along at dial-up speeds. Am I wrong in thinking that, I'm not exactly a networking guru.
