| Rip Off You are getting ripped off, it wouldnt' be so bad if they let you have unlimited download/upload capacity, but they limit you to 1gigabyte and +$25 for every gigabyte after that. That's really cheap and limited. Just surfing webpages can accumulate 1gb pretty easily in a month. | |

Phoenix, AZ | its business its business. they've been getting ripped off for years. look at the price of t1 for crying out loud. it dosent cost them $1200+ a month to maintain a T. the only reason it is higher is because they know businesses can afford it. | |

Longview, TX | Re: its business I can get cable at 1.5mbps/1mbps for $99 a month. That's about 1/6th the price of T1. Just depends where u live. I've seen t1 for $450 in some locations. Not THAT bad for the dedicated speeds you get. | |

| Price of T1: It's not that simple... 1200 bucks per month is cheap if you are talking about a full Tier 1 T1 line. The $400-$500 /mo consumer specials you see everywhere are not on the same level as a Tier 1 T1 that a provider like Data Moving Company would need to be able to resell the bandwidth. There is a big difference between technologies and how many hops you have between your CSU/DSU point and the main backbone. If you are paying $500 for a T1 you are still sharing bandwidth somewhere down the line. It's all about reliability, bandwidth availability and uptime. The going price for a full MCI/Worldcom T1 line is about $1600 /mo at this time. That allows you to use 1500 Mbps sustained usage 24 hrs per day, with full time monitoring and 99.9% uptime.Try that on a $400 Ameritech T1 product..... | |
