Thats a rip off. I am sure they could get a better rate.

| better rates?
Try these ones on for size:
A 1.5mbit T1 line from a Tier 1 provider intended for commercial resale can (and will) run upwards of $1000/month in certain areas. As recently as 2 years ago I knew of one ISP here paying around $750/month per T1 line, and they had four of them so monthly costs were around $3k for 6mbps of bandwidth.
What made this doable was the resell ratios. Sometimes 30-40mbit sold for every 1mbit of backbone bandwidth is common - thats where we get the "primetime crunch".

Re: ?!?fuisajsijsa
That really is a rip-off. I know in my area there are T1 lines for about $200-300/month. A T3 would be about $600-700/month (guessing).
From what I know, a small company I have never even heard of deploys fiber to the schools/libraries in the area. Not sure of the price but I think is is pre-paid by state funds (not payed by the school). |

"what are you smoking? cogent best? best at being the worst maybe.. they have the worst uptime record of any major provider.. quality data centers don't even bother with them."
ive used alot of networks before, NAC, Verio, Level3, UUnet, DIGEX, my favorite so far has been well Digex, but Cogent being a close second. |
