Re: UTOPIA Fiber 50/50 NOW Available - $39.95

50/50 Mbps is a new UTOPIA residential wholesale tier, and I think all of we service providers will soon support it.

Its a little ironic that XMission has the most robust network of the service providers on UTOPIA, yet we seem to be the most concerned about the quality of service we can provide that that speed. We're starting rigorous testing and research to see what impact an increase like that will have. When we know we can properly support it, we will bring it to market.

I don't know about caps, because I haven't seen UTOPIA's back end pricing, yet. All I've seen has been a marketing concept on paper with zero technical or financial proposals to back it up.

Up until now, however, there have been wholesale variable costs on usage that service providers pass on to the subscriber through one means or another. They went unenforced for a long time until monitoring infrastructure was placed, and there have been stretches when enforcement was suspended due to errors.

But seeing as you're discussing a residential pipe that is fatter than a DS3 for about $40/mo*, I can say with some faith that any provider who intends to stay in business for more than a couple of weeks will have some bandwidth policy attached.

___
* for reference, Qwest will put 2000 DSL subscribers on a single 45 Mbps DS3

It sounds like & from your thingy on the left, that your from XMission.
(If I could, I would use XMission hands-down!)

I am in Provo so I was unable to get the 50/50 but the representative I talked to just about signed me up till she found out I am in Provo (dang it!).

I wish I could have gotten it so I could give perspective from a 50/50 customer end.

In your testing and research are you finding any problems with routers?
