Re: Wholesale bandwidth from Comcast in PA
I didn't realize you were asking about a symmetrical circuit. Megapath is a reseller for Comcast Cable. We had a Comcast fiber circuit down in Salisbury Maryland for some student housing. It was the most unreliable connection and every time it went hard down they just pointed the finger back at us instead of dispatching a tech and they were Never able to maintain the speeds, especially upload, that was required in the contract. If memory serves me correctly that were charging $2500 per month for a 15/15. I don't believe there were any limitations on what we could/could not do with it. There were also quirky things like their equipment had to lock to the MAC address of our router so there was no changing equipment on the fly. I remember one outage where that was a major point of contention. We had a Cisco router struck by lightening and for THREE, thats correct, THREE days they were in complete denial that they needed to program their switch with the Router's MAC address. |

That's kind of an ugly price?. In our business, it isn't a problem to bring in big circuits with microwave, so perhaps your build out price was ugly and they were rapping you for it?. I have no problem doing a hop or two if it means saving some big $$$

That really sucks. No way to spoof the MAC? (Not a Cisco geek?)
