Why the mom and pop isps are Dieing. (Score 1)

I know why the small isp are dieing. Its DSL . I have talked to so many company offering to allow me to resell it to my customers and the price they give me is outrageous. SBC for example said ican resell a 128/768k pipe for 37$ from them with a 1 year contract . For me to turn a profit I have to mark that up to 45 to 50 Dollars because you have to buy a t1 from ameritech to go threw them other company are worse. Covad Wants I think it was 40$ for a pipe to resell but they sell the same pipe for like 2 dollars more or someting ludicris like that. This is why the small isp is dieing . We just cant compete with the big guys when it comes to high speed. Bill Hatzer Systems Administrator
