I dont think its that bad at AMS-IX (amsterdam internet exchange) why you can get resold space where they will manage bgp and all that at 1Gbps for 2500 euro ($4200 or so). I am unsure if that comes with transit, I think it does. AMX-IX is mostly a peering point, so if you get it direct (where 10Gbps is readily available if you are doing insane call counts :) you get rack space only and a switch port, but have to do all the bgp peering negotiations yourself, and have to get transit yourself. That however is not that expensive to get. Power was included in the prices that I got. Course this is the place that next year is doing gigabit to the home, granted some other places already have it, so its not going to be that special, it just means that wholesale bandwidth has to be cheap enough if they are able to sell gigabit to residential customers who wont pay a fortune. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
