In carrier hotels and high density areas, $1 is approximately the norm anymore but totally dependent on commit levels and number of ports. Hurricane is working on driving this down, Cogent not too far behind, everyone else tailing closely . generally speaking.
My usual speech is quality, features, performance etc combined against their cost. For example with Hurricane, you can get cheap ports/transit but almost zero BGP communities for traffic engineering purposes. If that's less important then they can be a great option. Everyone also knows with Hurricane that they run their network "hot" given their price point - varies market to market. At $$$job we have Hurricane amongst others and would say they are "ok" .definitely not stellar. From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cassidy B.

Not going to say how far under $1 but significantly under $1. It is converging at zero, just like long distance charges.
