Re: Does or can TSI wholesale T1/3, OC1/3, Fiber etc? They do fibre. We just signed up, but it is not ready yet. |

I may not be awake but not sure what you are saying. There are only a few companies that OWN the fibre (Bell and Allstream being two I can think of), anyone else just uses it. It does not get treated the same as DSL in terms of throttling, etc.

The irony of common sense, it is not that common.
I cannot deny anything I did not say.
A kitten dies every time someone uses "then" and "than" incorrectly.

| Silly question: why would someone pay 1000 bucks per month for 10 Mb when two phone lines could do the same thing? I always thought fiber was for getting the really fast speeds like 100 Mb or higher. |

I always thought fiber was for getting the really fast speeds like 100 Mb or higher. What he probably meant was "10Mbps commit burstable to 100Mbps" which means guaranteed sustainable speed of 10Mbps that can be pushed up to 100Mbps in short bursts as long as the X-minutes average stays below 10Mbps Y% of the time.
And as Bskill said, there is also the matter of SLAs... the guarantee that a tech will be on-site within 1-8h to fix it (depending on how much you pay) instead of N business days does not come cheap. |
