justin,

I've recently upgraded from dial-up to DSL. A major improvement. If "joe-schmoe" average user can access speeds like this for a flat rate of 50/month/unlimited with performance that's 5-10 times quicker than what they're using, he WILL buy it.

2.5Gig is absolutely fast, but how much of a difference will that make to folks like us just surfing your average web sites (like SI).

I see MCOM as more of a mobile/wireless ISP for the "average" consumer. (like AOL) Dude, DSL costs 3-5 time that of MCOMs R2 (due out this summer) and R2 is THE SAME SPEED & it's WIRELESS and mobile.

As for HDR - I WANT TO SEE A PRICING STRUCTURE.

as for selling MCOM, that's your problem now.

Good luck,
JH

Justin, I just recently got DSL, with my ISP it is $40 a month. Fast, fast, fast. I used to have access to a T1 line, and if you have DSL I'm sure you know, or quickly find out, that its not so much the speed of YOUR connection that matters, its the traffic on the Web, or the speed of the server on the other end thats the holdup.

Bandwidth is where it's at, wireless or not.

Best,
Jeff Smith
