Re: Wonder what markets get the 100 Mb? Here's the thing: my usage varies between maybe 75GB per month and 175 GB per month. Average usage is probably around 120GB. Now, all things considered, my bill would tend to be below $100 per month, but with MeidaCom offering an unlimited-use plan for less than that...well, you get the picture.
I don't doubt that there's a reason why the per-GB costs and overages are high like that; it isn't all that cheap bringing bandwidth out beyond large cities. However if Lisco is offering 100 Mbps service I'd think they have at least 200Mbits of committed bandwidth, and at those commits you're looking at 20¢ per GB at most...assuming people actually use their connections. Yes, the speed is awesome, but you run into the problem of being unable to use that speed due to caps.
20¢ per GB when purchased in quantity? Fine. 40-50¢? Nope. |
