It would depend whom you're buying from, and how much 
bandwidth you're taking.

If you're only taking a couple of Mbps, it could be a little 
under US$70/Mbps, depending on where you are/whom you're 
buying from.

If you're taking serious bandwidth (STM-4's or Gig-E), 
prices can come down significantly to even US$25/Mbps; 
again, depending on where you are/whom you're buying from.

It's always best to buy bandwidth from a provider at a 
carrier-neutral data centre. That way, you avoid having to 
rump up on your local loop charges.

Satellite infrastructure blows the cost of bandwidth out of 
proportion.
