My cable modem tops out at about 2.550Mbps, and it costs me 39.95. I have friends who have another cable provider that is a little faster than me. However, if you want speed for personal use, try Sprint ION. Ion, is a type of dsl that runs at 8mbps down, and 1.5mbps up. They come in packages, and I think you can get 2 phone lines, the Ion, and 400 minutes of long-distance for 119.99. If you sign up now, they are throwing in the HUB ($250) for free. Check out sprint.com for details.......
Cost of the equipment needed to build a ViaLight P-LAN is decreasing every year. So much so that the capital cost to build a ViaLight fiber network is now nearly at parity with telephone industry DSL networks, and is at parity with cable TV industry’s HFC networks. The ViaLight P-LAN does not require the use of powered equipment in the outside plant infrastructure. Provisioning multi-gigabits of bandwidth to homes and businesses is done without changing our fiber cable plant. This results in significantly lower infrastructure lifecycle costs than telephone DSL or HFC network infrastructures. Soon ViaLight P-LANs will be delivering 1 Gigabit of bandwidth to residential and commercial customers at today’s 100 Mbps price point. DSL and cable modem infrastructures will clearly not be able to effectively compete with the ViaLight P-LAN and the services it will support.
Well, it isn't a T1, but it is fast. First, you must live in Chelan County (unless there is a new market they've opened that they don't list on the site) since their Woodlands project doesn't seem to be up quite yet. I imagine that your connection will gradually get slower (of course they may continually increase capacity).
Really it is great idea, but extremely limited in scope at this time. They seem to be starting development of their services in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Indonesia, but I'd still like to know how dependable the service is for the purposes of web hosting. If you know of a server connected to this network, please post the URL (I'd like to stick a monitor on it that checks every 15 minutes for a month just out of curiosity).
I'm all for new technology in this area. I had read a lot about Qwest and their plans about laying tons of line across the country that would increase the capacity and, I thought, lower the cost of all this. Costs have been coming down, but I wasn't impressed with my experience with Qwest (only one experience).
Hopefully these guys can do a better job.
