Considering I pay $50 for 10 gig internet here in the US, I suspect those poor downtrodden ISPs can afford to add a small percentage of marginal customers at $15/mo and still at least break even on all of them.
- gruez 3y agoYou paying $50 for 10 gig doesn't mean internet costs $5/gig to provide and you can give the poor broadband access for 13 cents. Most of the cost is fixed, $15 is uneconomical for any ISP in the US.
- rconti 3y agothat was neither stated nor implied as you intuited by your "13 cents" vs my comment about $15 being break-even. Curious about a source for $15 being uneconomical. It's just a SWAG on my part that it's break-even, but if you can state that it's uneconomical for any ISP, I'd love to see it. And is that uneconomical to do for 100% of their subscribers? or even for a small share? As you know there's a difference between marginal cost per additional subscriber vs each subscriber's share of the total fixed costs.
- datascienced 3y ago$50 for 10g sounds dreamy awesome. I think in Australia that’d be US$3k at least.
