| Hmm, I'm paying $300 per mbps, about twice what you say I should be paying. This is for an on-demand burstable connection, i.e., charges are based on 95th percentile peak load. Sounds like I should be shopping around. Or, perhaps the $140/mbps is based on prior committment? Can you point me to who is offering that? |

Sorry, ain't the case. Hurricane Electric doesn't list co-lo prices on their page, you have to request a quote.
US$300 includes 7U of rack space, which is obviously a pre-requisite. Bandwidth increments go up by about 2x in US$100 increments, but still, the base charge is US$200 for 7U and 256kbit.
Regardless, bandwidth is still expensive. No one pays per megabit or megabyte, because all it takes is some moronic cable modem user leeching an entire site with wget and you're paying US$20000 ;P
