First of all, you need to be a better marketeer, Joe. First you make it a trade-up option, not the default. Sure you can tech-talk the layman into almost anything, but you have FACTS to work with here. Second of all, you are simply lucky that the average joe doesn't know that you're cheating them by giving them 30% less bandwidth then they think. You'd be surprise how many customers you'll get when you tell them that your competitors are ripping them off. Ride the wave for now, and hope that your competitors don't figure it out first..... Personally, I would gladly pay an extra $50. a month for a 30% increase in bandwidth. Of course, I wouldn't buy ISDN for any amount......
