Aly wrote@dio simply because resellers are cheaper since they provide you with a shared connection and of course this is cheaper, for example my cousin took a 10 mbps up / down and the reseller promised him that he is going to reach his speed 90% of the times unless there is a huge load during peak hours (just like dsl up to speeds), he pays 200$ per month for this.
While corporate institutions need dedicated internet speeds 24/7 therefore they deal with the ISP directly and of course pay a lot more, if i am not mistaken my company pays around 3500$ per month for the 50 mbps up/down dedicated.
That's strange. WISE offered me 8/3 solution for $200 a month. While the reseller offered me the same package for $250.
May I ask which reseller your cousin is using?
