| * Upfront fees primarily
depend on how much equipment is necessary to get
the service to you. Will vary between $89.96 to
$227.00 + $22 for each additional computer
that's added to the link.
(a) Identical to DirectWay.
Stated speeds are not guaranteed. Actual upload
speed will likely be lower than speed indicated
during peak hours. Download speeds may also be
temporarily slowed in cases when patterns of
system usage exceed the download threshold for
an extended period of time.
(b) This varies depending on
distance between you and us. As Mike in our
support forum mentioned. About 1 microsecond per
1000 feet. It should hardly be noticeable.
It’s important to know that
all high-speed Internet Service Providers
utilize “Shared Bandwidth Technology." Simply
put, that means everyone shares one "ultra"
high-speed connection in order to get a
high-speed connection at each of their homes.
However, in some cases, as few as 5% of the
users can consume as much as 50% of an Internet
Service Provider’s bandwidth, making the service
run slower for everyone else! Megatron does not
yet have in place any method to protect our
customers from this kind of abuse as DirectWay
does with it's Fair Access Policy. However, we
do realize that this will happen, and are
looking into ways to prevent it, and we hope to
have it in place before this project is
complete. |
