1 edit | well.. Having been a former TowerSteam customer in the New You City area (Empire State Building). TowerStream could barely sustain 4-5 Mbps through a window. Since we were not able to get the sustained speeds when we tried to upgrade service with them, we pulled out of our contract.
I'll also let you in on this. The majority of our traffic showed that our traffic was being put on Cogent. (Now, we never had a problem with this really)
So for them to resell 1,000 Mbps for $1,000 at 8 Mbps for $999.. That's quite the bandwidth profit margin.
While they brand themselves as true enterprise bandwidth alternatives, their pricing model leaves alot to be desired. They wanted more than 3X's what I currently pay for my DS3 (45 Mbps). And THEY aren't having to pay for Verizon facilities to provide it!
If they really want to be considered alternatives, stop pricing higher than your competitors!
