6Mbps DSL for $45 > Might be a good business deal

Re: Not a good deal

Actually, we don't know what SBC is offering yet... but if Sonic.net feels they can make a profit on $45/year, I expect SBC's pricing to be about the same.

It just doesn't make much sense...their current pricing for dynamic:

$26.95 - standard+
$36.95 - deluxe
$99.95 - expert+

I think that $99 expert+ promo is no longer available (at least according to their web page). But let's speak in terms of promo rates.

I don't understand why they'd offer expert+ for $45/mo. That's a pretty huge jump in my opinion. But if sonic can sell it for $45, you're right they probably will offer that as a promo rate, with perhaps $60/mo being the 'normal' rate.

So the question is, what will they do with static pricing?

The current dynamic(promo)->static deltas are:

$38 - standard+
$28 - deluxe
$60 - expert+

Notice the non-linear relationship. So assuming $60 more per month for the static expert+, can we expect $105($45+60)/mo for expert plus static? Or will it be $120($60+60)/mo? It will be interesting to see...also, I think they'll have to lower their deluxe static pricing, but SBC is weird about their static IPs, so who knows

And well, 6000/608 for $45 would kick Comcast square in the nuts!
