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. > I got a quote from a > service provider today and he is quoting $3100 for 1mbps > on SCPC/DVB not even a clean SCPC link and yet I am > buying bulk. Satellite infrastructure blows the cost of bandwidth out of proportion. Mark.
