This is why I like fusion.. I get a 10G but only charged for 1G. The pipe allows us to go over if we need it based on 96th percent.

5 years is practically forever. The per gig sounds great but I am prone to look at it more in the terms of need. If you only need 5 gig but you buy 10 to get it at a better price, you really just doubled your "perceived cost". To belabor the point, need 5 but bought 10 at $200 a gig? You just paid $400 a gig.

I will say when we had HE, Cogent, and Level3, I was always shocked how much traffic went across the HE connection. I was expecting it to be the lowest utilized and it was always the highest with over 70% of the traffic with shaping or route forcing going on. Straight BGP.

    Given how much things change in 5 years, I would be extremely
    reluctant to sign a 5 year contract for anything Internet or
    telecom related.  Granted you can usually renegotiate as long as
    it’s upward.

    5 years is an eternity in Internet years.  Anything over 2 years
    makes me uncomfortable.

        I just got quoted 3x that from Century Link.  Century Link's
        quote is half of what we're paying now.

            Latest circuit I am working on obtaining from Cogent is
            $220 per gig.  I can get it as low as $150 if I take a
            100G circuit.
