Re: It's pretty sweet
So, you are your own ISP. That explains a LOT. What do you sell exactly? Access to fiberguy network? I mean, you're like AOL, right? People can connect to YOUR NETWORK, and use it on YOUR TERMS. Of course, they can't get to google, or youtube, or anywhere else, but at least you can control your costs.
NO, you don't sell FIBERGUY network access, you sell INTERNET access. So, MAYBE you aren't charging enough. Why don't you try and sell 1mb access for $1000.00 a month. Oh, wait, you CAN'T, cause no-one would buy it. So please explain exactly what you sell? Cause from all your whining, it sure sounds like you are selling 'some sort of limited access to some places where me (the corp) gets to decide you can go'. If that's what your SELLING, then that's what you should advertise, and see how many customers you get.
AGAIN, it's NOT YOUR PIPE. WE are paying YOU to TRANSPORT DATA. PERIOD. DirectTV is paying SOMEONE to TRANSPORT DATA. PERIOD. DirectTV CAN'T SEND MORE THAN THEY PAY FOR. WE CAN'T RECIEVE MORE THAN WE PAY FOR.
It's as simple as that.

I happen to own my own ISP, data center, and 3 redundant connections to serve my facility. I know how the internet works. I also know that You pay for what you transport on the internet as well.
And I'm glad you don't run my ISP or host my website. Just a hint: I pay Comcast for INTERNET ACCESS. What I do with that access is my business. Period. Same as the phone. You didn't hear the phone companies bitch when the Internet first started because those of us with modems were staying connected to our ISPs for hours and hours with our unlimited local phone calls? Same with the ISP's. Put up or shut up. |
