Re: All that money yet a 400 GB cap said by Matt:A 400GB cap is extremely reasonable. Even in a high-quality data center that 400GB of transfer would run you close to $150/month on a 100Mbps port. So getting 100Mbps across the last-mile and offering a 400GB cap is a great deal. And very few people would use 400GB in a month unless you're a pirate. Argggh matey. Please tell me you did not just compare a dedicated business-class connection to a shared residential one...
So a business class 100/100 dedicated connection
is the same as a 100/5 shared connection?
If thats true then $150/month for business and $150/month for residential is a rip-off! You get 5% the upload and on a shared connection for the same price compared to a dedicated business line? Really? Where do you get your info from?

You're right, what was I thinking, it's simple to get bandwidth across the last mile. I keep forgetting that's why we all have so many wonderful choices for super-high speed internet access.

The great thing about FTTH is you get both You get datacenter quality and last-mile pricing. My provider sells 100/100 service for $94.50/mo. I don't know what the cap is, if any, since I have never hit it. But the quality of the connection is amazing. My latency is consistently under 0.6 milliseconds and I never see dropped packets.
The US needs a broadband plan. Here's mine: Everybody should have a connection this good.

One services' max tier is 10mb/2mb and the other's is 6mb/512kb. Less than a mile from me my other family members have 1 choice and less than a mile from there there are people we know who have NO broadband choice.
