[GRLUG] NOT LINUX - LUS

Note the graphs.  The LUSFiber system
delivers rock hard performance despite its
modest prices -  $58 a month for 50 Mbps
full duplex.  100 Mbps available, also full
duplex.

Verizon and AT&T sued to try to stop the
project.  Now, a precedent has been set,
and the bigger damage might be all the
attention LUSFiber is getting.  It's now the
reference point for what's possible.

And what's possible is a whole lot cheaper
than the big players are suggesting. Comcast
just came out with a 100 Mbps down, 10 Mbps
up service tier, and it's over $400 a month.
Hardly full duplex, and definitely not cheap.

Yes, T1 lines were over $1,000 a month not
so many years ago.  But technology has moved
on, and LUSFiber shows just how much.
