In June the city voted to allocate an additional $1.2 million in sales tax revenue to help pay down the project’s debt.
Whaaaa whaaaaa, private business doesn't play fair. They want to keep their customers and compete against us, whaaaa whaaaa.
quote:
One of the factors to which Stewart attributes iProvo’s churn is large corporate competitors Comcast and Qwest Communications dropping their prices in the hopes of not only gaining and keeping market share but also making an example of the muni fiber model. The town’s incumbents are offering $99 triple-plays, Stewart said, while comparable offerings on iProvo are probably around $120.
$99 triple plays are the industry standard not a loss-leader to make an example of muni fiber. Muni broadband of any type will make an example of its self. |

I don't think the P2P caps are significantly different than other providers (Comcast/Qwest) but I don't know that for sure, I will look into it.
But I'm sure changing that will not do much but get a small number of bandwidth hogs. The general population...the mom and pop next door...do not ever reach anywhere near any cap.
People on this board are not "typical" users. If iProvo could be successful only by getting the geeks that want speed, they would be fine. It's going deeper into mom and pop, grandma and grandpa that is needed to make them successful.
They are getting data customers...hey need more phone and video customers to get a triple play revenue stream from each costly installation. |

The government picks up the cost of installation and the ISPs still can't make it work. You people are in the deep end of the pool over your head. You are throwing tax dollars down a rat hole. You are up agents Ma and Ma is pissed. Too bad Ma wasn't regulated; no that would never work. I love this so much it is better then a warm fuzzy kitten. |

I keep reading about the caps limiting subscriptions. Read up on the providers or just call them. There are very few people, even in their college town, who are fighting the caps. It simply isn't an issue for 99.9% of customers.
I've been an Mstar customer for 10 months. No problems with the internet. I love the 50/50 speed, especially uploading photos to my web site. Phone is solid, other than about two or three short outages since becoming a customer. The video service could be better but Mstar doesn't own the set top boxes or the head end where the services come from. They only own the licenses to deliver services. They rely on the network/headend owners to solve the video issues. Their hands are tied but have to take the customer complaints. A tough situation to be in. |
