Who's the company you didn't recognize? Also, you're usually better off with transport to a carrier hotel and doing your business there than buying it delivered to your door.

Its a crazy market in the rural areas, I assume you guys in urban areas already went through the huge shocker price breaks some time ago, but lately its like Christmas for us little guys every time we talk to a sales rep On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 7:35 PM, Faisal Imtiaz < [email protected] > wrote: Hmm... Interesting... Hurricane Electric, while inexpensive is known NOT To sell partial commit... Only Full Ports... i.e you either get a 1gig port or 10gig port.. 1gig ports a less than $750... 10g ports are in the $3200 range... One the 10g side there are others who will match the $$ tab.. It is only us (WISP's and ISP's) who look at IP Transit as a cost per Meg of IP.... Everyone else essentially comes up with a cost of "what is the cost of delivering the last mile" irrespective of how much, and then adjusting it with market pricing... (inside a data center, with a perceived 'zero' cost for last mile access, you will see that there is not much difference between 10/50/100/200meg in many cases going from 200meg to full port is a nominal ($) increment). Last mile access is still where bulk of the costs are ... -------------------------------------------------------------- e.g got this one today:- pdate on site survey and results: Construction is required we have two options. The first would be to have the customer make a contribution towards the cost of constriction. Comcast will cover $5,174.75 of the $15,611.75 construction cost. If the customer would like to contribute they would need to make a contribution of $10,437. The other option would be to increase the term to 36 months. If the term is increased to 36 months Comcast will cover the cost of construction. Please advise how the customer would like to move forward. I will create an addendum and ROE once I know what the customer has decided. ETA for construction is 90 days. ---------------------------------------------- Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom 7266 SW 48 Street Miami, FL 33155 Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: [email protected] <blockquote> From: "Chuck McCown" < [email protected] > To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2015 6:50:48 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Bandwidth charges <blockquote> I have a neighbor that is paying about 75 cents from Hurricane Electric. 10 Gig port. 1 Gig commit.
