Thanks for the Fusion mention Dave. We have worked hard the last several years building a network that is WISP/FISP friendly, offering flexibility in bandwidth costs, co-location, going where others would not, etc.. Steering around all of these resellers that have popped up the last few years has been interesting. A lot of them talk a big game. We are in trenches everyday dealing with Att, Windstream, Zayo, etc.. If you want to talk about Overheard costs to run a nationwide network, having colo in multiple major cities, it is not cheap. Don't get me started on x-connects :( but we try to stay as competitive as we can especially at our Primary POP locations. I actually don't understand why Cogent is giving bandwidth away as they are, kind of a red flag IMO. They also are not peering friendly. We are peering friendly. We are closely priced to HE. Oh and we are part of the WISP industry, we even deliver bandwidth via licensed links to certain customers :)
