| Hi cost for Business While I don't understand why Time Warner charges more for much less on the business internet I am seriously wanting to find an alternative. I live in Killeen, TX and pay $80 per month for 100 up and 100 down It's sad. At my home I pay $50 and I get 7000 down and 2000 up.
How they can justify screwing small business is beyond me. My question is this... Are there any alternatives in my area? I see other business class service in areas around me that are very good speed and very good prices. But to my knowledge they are not available here. |

Auburn Hills, MI | Can you give some more details?
"$80 per month for 100 up and 100 down" 100 what?
"$50 and I get 7000 down and 2000 up." 7000 what?
I think 1st we need to compare apples to apples, and then talk about the big difference between residential, and business class services.

Business class service includes a SLA that requires the ISP to meet various performance/reliability goal or be penalized.
If you are a business reliability it extremely important.

If you're actually getting symmetrical bandwidth of 100x100 Mbps @ $80 that's darn near free compared to most other business class options. True commercial grade bandwidth at that speed is well over $1,000 per month (and a lot more outside of big cities). Not to mention other costs for construction/build-out, unless the site already has "lit" fiber.
@ home you claim you're getting 7,000 x 2,000?? (Mbps??) Are you sure those numbers are accurate? That's 7G down and 2G up for $50??? I find that highly unlikely. It's probably more like 7000 Kbps x 2000 Kbps (7M x 2M).
Regarding your statement of- "I see other business class service in areas around me that are very good speed and very good prices."
-can you provide some examples please? |
