Re: better rates?
"what are you smoking? cogent best? best at being the worst maybe.. they have the worst uptime record of any major provider.. quality data centers don't even bother with them."
ive used alot of networks before, NAC, Verio, Level3, UUnet, DIGEX, my favorite so far has been well Digex, but Cogent being a close second. |

said by UnKown  :if you dont go with the crappy copper systems bandwidth is cheap. 100mbits for 1000 dollars. www.cogentco.com best all fiber network ive ever seen. ive thought of starting a hosting company with it. Might i add it was the only network in lower manhatan still operational during 9/11. what are you smoking? cogent best? best at being the worst maybe.. they have the worst uptime record of any major provider.. quality data centers don't even bother with them.

Try these ones on for size:
A 1.5mbit T1 line from a Tier 1 provider intended for commercial resale can (and will) run upwards of $1000/month in certain areas. As recently as 2 years ago I knew of one ISP here paying around $750/month per T1 line, and they had four of them so monthly costs were around $3k for 6mbps of bandwidth.
What made this doable was the resell ratios. Sometimes 30-40mbit sold for every 1mbit of backbone bandwidth is common - thats where we get the "primetime crunch".
