Re: how much?

said by battleop:

Some people must have the service and reliability that goes with a T1. Good luck getting Comcast to roll a truck at 11pm at night. If you need more than a /29 be prepared to pay out the ass if you can get it.
Now that IS true

Hrmmmm... I suppose you're right.. so when I was still doing business class work, I suppose that DAMN pager I carried when it was my turn to be "on call" going off at 10pm really meant nothing, now, did it?

Besides, business class, at 11pm at night is not designed for mission critical service.. ANYONE that would purchase a DOCSIS based service for anything mission critical would be a fool for an IT professional. That would imply you were running servers or other things that need 24/7 reliability..

Business class service, for the most part, is for connectivity to the internet for end user services. And, if it goes down at 11pm at night, and you need it THAT bad, well.. maybe a cable modem service isn't the way to go then is it?

That's running a business pretty dangerous.
