FYI - it's been a couple years, but the last time I got quotes for higher-end throughput I was looking at ~ $10,000 per month for a gigabit connection. 100Mb was ~ $1500. That was through Level 3 and did not include the fiber loop or routers. On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 10:41 AM, Torrie Fischer

Can you push it till later on Saturday, like 5 PM?  Also after open house I wouldn't mind doing a Speakers Bureau presentation.  I applied for NotACon on this topic two days ago, this would be a good demo before then (if I get in). On Friday, February 14, 2014 11:26 AM, Torrie Fischer
