Agreed as well. I'd love to know the calculations used to pull that number directly out of their asses.

Goto any dedicated hosting provider. between 1 and 3 TB of bandwidth per month for around 100-200$. how the crap does 9 GIG equate to 40$? Do the math, recognise the BLATANT LIES. Check your routes, most cable providers (TIME WARNER etc) use the SAME bargain basement carriers (cogent) as these hosting providers. WHY can we get 100mbps with insane caps for ~100 a month but end up paying ~50$ for 5mbps with these consumer ISP scammers. They cry and wine about not getting enough money because bandwidth is SOOOO expencive. Why is cisco making ISP gear capable of a billion PPS and 90TBPS of traffic fully loaded (CRS-1)

ISPs have to repay that Cisco gear that sells for the obscene prices of several million dollars. but yet what americans pay for broadband must have lots of profit.
