Re: Wholesale bandwidth from Comcast in PA
The only way to do it legally is to buy it through Megapath - they have an agreement with Comcast. |

| Correct me if I'm wrong, but MegaPath does cable stuff with Comcast, not symmetric fiber like Superdog is talking about. I'd assume they'd be similar to Time Warner Cable in this aspect; you'd just have to look at Metro Ethernet or something to that effect. Pretty sure that's out of MegaPath's league. |

| Megapath does sell Metro E. I was unaware of Megapaths association with Comcast I was hoping that somehow Comcast got inline with the times and started to sell bandwidth. Since they want to be in the telephone game like Verizon and be a one stop shop for TV, internet and everything else, why not wholesale bandwidth?.

said by delmarvawifi  :The only way to do it legally is to buy it through Megapath - they have an agreement with Comcast. I tried to get a quote from Megapath quite awhile back, and their price for Metro Ethernet was quite high because of their proposed loop length. That makes me believe they do not have rights to access Comcast networks in my area?.
I also had a CO called Telcove price out a 10/10Mb fiber drop for me awhile back. The build out to my location was horrendous, even though their fiber was like 3 blocks away because a section of it had to go underground. Telcove was bought by Level 3 recently, but that shouldn't make the build out price any different.
I was just thinking Comcast because of their huge network foot print and their stuff is hanging on the pole at the end of my yard. Perhaps my thinking is off and I welcome any thoughts, facts or opinions about what I am trying to do?.

They do indeed do MetroE; otherwise you wouldn't see hosting places like FDCServers and SoftLayer purchasing obscene amounts of bandwidth from those guys... |
