| In reply to your residential wishes of a 5/5 for $50/month, that is already available. 20/5, actually, for $45/month here. Some areas it's up to $55/month due to less competition. Also, I have 20/20 service and I've always had that bandwidth available, minus a few minor hiccups here and there which is acceptable. About 9 out of 10 people on my street and a couple streets in each direction have FiOS (thanks to me suggesting it) and the bandwidth is still available as can be seen here:

As for businesses, no ISP would be able to offer a dedicated 20/20 for $200, it's just not doable. You think that in this age of fiber, it's possible. Consider the cost of the equipment before you come to that conclusion. Also, a T1 is a lot cheaper these days, around $300 with free install. Some you can even get free equipment after rebates. Speakeasy is a great example of this. |
