Re: Very Interesting ... said by jc100:However, aren't all ISPS hooked into the backbones and simply resetting the bandwidth that level 3 providers sell? Not always. The largest providers are tier 1s themselves like Verizon and AT&T. Time Warner also owns a massive network.
Backbone connectivity is scalable and bandwidth is cheap and evidentally getting cheaper. |

1 edit | But it is going down, in terms of the same $/Mb.
When I first got Cox in 1997 it was 3Mb for $30. Now it's 7Mb for $42.
So I was paying $10/Mb in 1997 and now I'm paying only $6/Mb. A decrease of 40%.
My 30Mb Verizon service will be less than $5/Mb, when with 768Kbps DSL many years ago I started at $50 or a whopping $65 per Mb. |
