Spokane, WA | umm So he is wants T1 speeds uploading and some multiple of T1 downloading at a tenth the price of a T1 correct?
Having a hard time mustering up too much sympathy 
At least most ISPs got away from 128/256 upstream and the biggest number they can muster for downstream and gave us something to work with.
I don't need more bandwidth, i need shorter routing 
Be nice if my internet didn't go 2-3000 miles to get across the street (ok, it's really 2 whole blocks!) :/ |

Only difference is you get a refund of that month's insanely high price if the line breaks down for more than a few hours. Business managers are fools and don't know the difference. |

Having a hard time mustering up too much sympathy The difference is LOS and the fact that bandwidth is not shared. Consumers are not paying for this and THAT is why the pricing model for consumer internet service is cheaper. Overselling is built into the pricing model.

Routing across the country can affect latency a bit, perhaps 10ms in some cases, but if it does this to avoid congestion at another point, then you are getting a net latency gain over choosing a geographically closer but over utilized route. In other words, you read way to much into the physical locations of your route. |
