So to fill up a T3 with ADSL Ports offering at 1.5mb/s you can put in 180
ADSL Ports at 990$ per port. Total Income = $ 178,200 / month, Total Expense
= $50,000/month for T3, around $36,000 (Based on 200$/port) for ADSL Ports,
Net Income = $92,200 Monthly.
For a T2 connection, you can have up to 36 ADSL Ports at 990$ per port
income. Gross Income = $35,640/month, Total expense = $12,000/month for T2,
around $ 7200/month ADSL Ports, Net Profit = $16,440/month.
Minimum should be a T2 connection to offer ADSL.
Well I see that this can be very useful in producing extra revenue but the
startup costs may be a bit high.
Best start off point for ADSL would be a T2 (10mb/s) connection. Get about
8 ADSL Ports and share it with your current service. 8 Ports can handle
about 60 people on ADSL. WIth that in mind, you have 60 people at $99/month
= $5950 of extra income to help with month charges.
On Average, on a rack of modems, the average transfer rate is about
500/bytes to 1K/sec... With ADSL that might go up to maybe 5k-10k/sec. if
you really want to over load a T2, at 10k/sec average transfer rate, you can
have 125 ADSL Ports on it. Potential Income = $123,750/month. It all
depends on how you want to offer your services. You must learn how you
optimize without overload.
Hope this helps a lot of people trying to decide.
