| There isn't enough competition to get me 12 Mbit internet for $50, let alone 100M. If Qwest launched VDSL in my area they'd at least have 12M for $50. We could then build up from there.
Problem is, you'd have to be right on top of the VDSL node to get 100M service, or VERY close to do it with line bonding. So Qwest is squealing. Whoda thunk? |

said by elios:nobody wants them becouse ISPs change 100+ bucks a month for them if it was 50 or less you bet people jump on it That will never happen... Think of the total revenue that a telco receives from selling all speeds. It's essentially a triangle, with a little bit of revenue coming from the ultra high speeds and the majority coming from lower speeds.
If they offer their top speed at $50, then the expectation is that slower speeds should be cheaper. The problem is that it takes a long time to deploy the higher speeds, but that huge base of subscribers at the lower speeds will want their rate lowered *now*. |
