| 353804 | 2005-05-10 03:21:00 | Hi! I'm still a newbie to the forum, but I've always wanted to ask a question regarding business broadband plans. How can businesses survive on 256kbps/128kbps???? If there's a staff of 10, and assuming they don't abuse the business connection for downloading their music and videos, it would be barely enough to send/receive emails! Let alone do any "data-heavy" work, like sending architectural drawings, etc.... 256/128kbps divided by 10 users ~~ 25kbps/12kbps per user! It seems ridiculous to me. |

| 353805 | 2005-05-10 04:51:00 | Perhaps explain why you think a business with 10 users would opt for a 256 kb connection, when "full speed" is also available? There are about 8 plans that are full speed, vs 4 plans at 256. |

| 353806 | 2005-05-10 04:52:00 | It is unlikely for all users to be accessing the internet at once. I agree though, those plans would work for small businesses, larger businesses find higher speed, higher cap plans. | somebody (208) | ||
| 353807 | 2005-05-10 11:03:00 | I'm sorry I neglected to mention it, but I was referring to bitstream business plans. For ihug, iconz, slingshot, orcon, they ALL offer 256/128kbps plans only. And as for telecom, the cheapest business full speed plan is the Jetstream 600. It costs $61.33 (and excluding ISP charges as well) for 600mb ONLY! So, either I have a painfully slow 256/128kbps business bitstream plan for my employees at $99, or I can cause my company to go into bankruptcy in a few months, with a full speed 10gb cap plan, paying $888 a month (and still excluding ISP charges. How are businesses supposed to survive here???? No wonder the good companies leave! |
