Comment on Ziply Fiber launches 50-Gig residential service for $900 per month

This is kind of cool, but at the same time, there’s gotta be a catch. Beside that, I can’t imagine a situation where a residential location might want that. Even if I had a self-hosted data center for my entire family, their friends, and friends of their friends, I still couldn’t saturate that bandwidth

Isn’t the catch that it’s 900 dollars a month?

There’s probably still a bandwidth cap and it’s probably still the same shitty 1tb everyone else gets with $30 for every 10gb beyond that.

They are pretty transparent on their terms on their website. No caps on any of their other plans.
You are using shared bandwidth like all other residential plans, meaning that if there is no available bandwidth on the network you get what you get. That’s the catch.
Turns out when you install bundles of 80Tb/s fiber long haul interconnects. Upselling to enthusiasts can be profitable.

About 10 years ago, the muni fiber outfit in the town next door lit up 10Gbit fiber for their entire footprint. The price? $900/mo. It's currently $300/mo, and they just turned on 25Gbit across their entire footprint ($1500/mo).
