So to make sure I understand you, the highest speed package you can get, is 1mbit down, and it's $42.95 a month?
Unreal.

Clearly it's because of the 1% who are using more than 250 GB a month. |

| Pretty sure its because Spiro is a town 2 miles big with 2k residents in the middle of nowhere oklahoma. Would you spends millions to upgrade an area this small? Money you will never recoup in charges? |

| maybe not, but charging $42.95 for 1 Mbps isn't the way to go either. Their tv cable also is poor..We had other Cable service a few years back but SUddenlink promised the stars if they were the only one allowed in town..Instead of the stars we got the meteor. Like I said they should be ran out of town.imo |

Austin, TX | Seems like they should just cut their losses and leave.

| The little towns are actually insanely profitable, providing they don't repair or expand the plant. I lived in such a town for about 3 years. The whole town was 1 node and we shared 3 or 4 T1 lines for bandwidth... between almost 600 modems. Right before I left, they added another 4 T1 lines if i recall correctly. They are usually also staffed by techs from the next town over, or 1-2 workers so overhead on the town is rather low.
