Don't buy it yet, I'm shopping another carrier for a better price for you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fiberpowered-connection-using-TWC-loop-for-lowest-price-22964117 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:05:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fiberpowered-connection-using-TWC-loop-for-lowest-price-22953296 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fiberpowered-connection-using-TWC-loop-for-lowest-price-22953296 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:45:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fiberpowered-connection-using-TWC-loop-for-lowest-price-22953174 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Fiberpowered-connection-using-TWC-loop-for-lowest-price-22953174 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:19:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Fiberpowered-connection-using-TWC-loop-for-lowest-price-22918584

I'm bringing this location up again because I'm assuming everyone here went the route of looking at copper-based loops. Unless there's a miracle, there's no way copper is coming anywhere close to the above price. Even more interesting, TWC appears to have decided its bandwidth is worth $35 or so per Mbit on a 100 Mbit commit; their pricing bottomed out at roughly $6000 MRC + installation-based MRC and NRC for a five-year term.

So my question is, with the above address and the knowledge that TWC fiber is the cheapest loop option available, how close can you come to $30 per Mbit on a 100M commit?

Not asking anyone to beat Cogent unless they want to; having a 200M BGP blend would be ideal. However anything above $60 need not be mentioned; another provider (I'll bet they'll end up as the ILEC in five years, HCTC) said they could beat TWC's $60-per-Mbit price at that commit and their bandwidth is pure Level3.

Basically I've found gold price-wise with the Cogent connection, however due to their peering disputes etc. I want to multi-home at the same commit with another provider at a reasonable price. Any takers?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Fiberpowered-connection-using-TWC-loop-for-lowest-price-22918584 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 21:44:04 EDT
