Clearly there is a misunderstanding here. This bandwidth is not a blend from some colo (not that that's necessarily bad). This is a circuit to the Tier-1 - a Level(3) (or whomever) circuit ID and BGP session to their router. > Example- we were just offered 5u and 20 mbps burst to 100mbit > for $200/month in a Hurricane Electric facility in CA.

Again, comparing an HE blend in CA and Level(3) circuit in Tampa is not a valid comparison. > Other facilities in CA offered us different models which burn > down to between $25 to $43 per mbps for premium bandwidth.

I don't think Level(3), Global Crossing, etc sell such a thing. Actually, they would each argue that's all they sell ;). -- Kristian Kielhofner http://blog.krisk.org http://www.submityoursip.com http://www.astlinux.org http://www.star2star.com _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
