US$40 6/1 cable versus US$400 512/512 co-location.
Damn! If you're paying $400 for a server and 512Kb/s of usage, I've got a bridge to sell you. -- Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity

Actually the bandwidth isn't that bad -- it's the 14U of rack space and power which is. -- Making life hard for others since 1977. In memory of 2005...
reply to sporkme It isn't only those who run servers that have to pay a high price for bandwidth. If you are a "Rural" customer like me who cannot get cable or DSL and Satellite is just not cutting it for VPN use you are stuck paying high prices.
I have a T1 to my house. It allows me to work from here instead of driving into downtown Seattle every day. I gladly pay the $536/month for the service. While I feel for those who complain that they are not getting all of their bandwidth from a 6/1 cable connection at $50/month I would gladly trade my monthly bill with them for the bandwidth anytime.
