Re: dumb pipes
Business connections arent priced on speed. You dont pay way more than resedential because its faster, you pay way more for it because they have minimum service garuantees, more competent techs and fast problem resolution.
THATS why business class connections cost so much more, it has nothing to do with not being "subsidized". |

| Exactly. You forgot about the SLA of 99.9 percent. Basically, if my internet goes off, they bring a tech out immediately. We're both given the same line. One has a guarantee to be fixed immediately (Business) and the other just has to be repaired in a reasonable time (home). |

I didn't say anything about "speed". If anything, your comment reiterates what I stated. The lack of guarantees, overselling, latency, etc. on residential connections allow them to be priced lower than business connections. |
