Post subject: Bandwidth limited plans

Hi,
I have a unique situation here in the states with a client who only has satellite internet service to feed their hotspot.
I was wondering if there were any overseas customers of Firstspot who have limited bandwidth plans for sale; I was looking for some sample plans or examples of how you set up your plans and how it’s working for you. Or maybe some feedback on my plans.
Are my plan allowance reasonable or should I allow more for the allowances? Too cheap or too expensive?

The Hotspot Download / Upload allowance converted from GigaBytes to MegaBytes: 15 GB (12 down / 3 up) GB = (12,288 down / 3,072 up) MB.

For $500.00 per month we get 15,360 MB of Hotspot bandwidth allowance, so we are paying approx. $0.04 per MB. If we go over our allowance Option 1 dictates we don’t get slowed down as a penalty, we get charged $0.10 per MB and keep going at full speed (Up to 2.5MB Down / 768Kb Up). The plans below re-sell this bandwidth for approx. $0.20 per MB, and then if the user goes over their allowance they can purchase additional bandwidth for $0.15 per MB.

Premium Monthly Plan: $ 74.99/month
Speed Setting: 1.5 Mb Down/ 384kb Up
Bandwidth Allowance: 300MB Down/75MB Up
Purchase Additional Bandwidth: $0.15 per MB

Monthly Plan: $ 49.99 per month
Speed Setting: 1.28Mb Down/ 256kb Up
Bandwidth Allowance: 200MB Down/50MB Up
Purchase Additional Bandwidth: $0.15 per MB

Weekly Plan: $ 24.99 per week
Speed Setting: 1Mb Down/ 256kb Up
Bandwidth Allowance: 100MB Down/ 25MB Up
Purchase Additional Bandwidth: $0.15 / MB

Weekend Plan (3 day): $12.99/weekend
Speed Setting: 1Mb Down/ 256kb Up
Bandwidth Allowance: 50MB Down / 25MB Up
Purchase Additional Bandwidth: $0.15 per MB

Daily Plan: $ 6.99 per day
Speed Setting: 512kb Down/ 128kb Up
Bandwidth Allowance: 25MB Down / 12MB Up
Purchase Additional Bandwidth: NO

Comparison:
HugesNet Monthly Plan: $59.99/month
Speed Setting: 1Mb Down/ 200kb Up
Bandwidth Allowance: 200Mb Down/Up Free
Purchase Additional Bandwidth: Yes, thru FAP reset @ $10.50/day
- 24 Month contract required -

Thanks,
Ron
