Overpriced.

Overpriced, enough said. All their new tiers are overpriced, 8/1 for 150/month? Wow..what the hell is that CEO smoking? I hardly doubt even a business would pay that if they have a cable isp available to them.

I dunno...

Compared to T1 prices these seem pretty good...you get 5X the download and 2/3 of the upload speed of a T1 plus a full Service Level Agreement for less then half the cost of said T1...(usually 399.00).

That sounds like a bargain to me!

Re: Overpriced.

The fact is, sure... cable ISPs can provide those speeds but are they consistent? When if the node they are being fed by along with the rest of the area becomes saturated? Then what?

At least these guys provide the services with an SLA stating that if anything does happen, be it either higher than normal ping time to the whole line being down, someone gets the fire lit under their ass and they get moving.
