Re: i want GigE
How bad do you want it?
You can get a 45 Mbps T3 circuit today for about $10,000/month or a 155 Mbps OC3 for about $30,000/month.
Not sure how much a real 1 Gbps connection would cost...but a 2.48 Gbps OC48 runs about $200K/month.
I'm sure they all come with no caps or traffic shaping and great customer service too! (It better be for $200K per month) Can't speak to the bit about government spying though.... |

| When did you last look at pricing?
We pay about $3300/month for our (full) DS3 circuit, including loop (delivered over Verizon Fiber, down to coax through AdTran equipment, and eventually down to Ethernet handoff via an Anda 2200).

| said by BuggyBoyOKC  :When did you last look at pricing I agree with BuggyBoyOKC , those are pretty old prices. I got quotes for my area about a year ago just to see what the prices were at. A T1 was about $300/month + install. DS3 (T3) was about $3,000/month + install. Both were about $150-250 for install.
The direct fiber optic was about $6,000/month + $10,000 install.

and the T1 equipment is free after rebate. loop charge is included in their prices

Heh...Google FTL! I don't work in that side of the business so my research consisted of about 5 minutes in a search engine. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
Still, the point stands...$3300/month for a full DS3 circuit that you can run at 100% 24/7/365 (which seemed to be what was asked for) just won't fly for residential use (unless you're a hedge fund manager who lights his cigars with $100 bills). |
