I believe that fiber technology could eventually pose a competitive challenge to your business. However, considering your rural location, the process of its adoption might be slower. Additionally, in the States, fiber installation typically requires a significant demand from the community before it becomes available.

@stevejones8392 8 ай бұрын

In the uk most rural areas have access to at least sogea (fttc), with the analogue switch off happening soon, Openreach are having to prioritise rural locations as they have to be able to provide voice services. Without analogue service they have to provide broadband, generally via fibre. Unfortunately wisps will have issues if they don’t provide voice alongside broadband services. I know I wouldn’t want to be relying on a service with non external cat5/6 berried in a field!

“Down to” is the way to go! My ISP has the same mentality and I consistently get about 10% faster speeds both ways than what I’m paying for. I have a symmetrical 150Mbps plan and see anywhere from 160-165 on average

@SkylerF 3 ай бұрын

The problem is the network is a shared medium and its hard to garuntee a speed 100% of the time. There may be occasional times of peak capacity with a slow down and thats why most internet providers play it safe by saying "up to"
