[WISPA] Current Bandwidth Prices?
How much is everyone paying for good quality bandwidth? We're in the market for 10Mbps - 20Mbps and we're seeing pricing around $100 a meg for the bandwidth only (we'll be providing our own transit via wireless). This is for Sprint bandwidth via fiber (upstream has two OC12 circuits and has a ton of excess bandwidth available). I'm thinking about asking them for a quote for10Mbps/10Mbps burstable to 100Mbps/100Mbps. Anyone have a burstable plan like this with their upstream? How are high bandwidth burstable plans like this usually priced by a provider? One provider's quote difference between 10Mbps and 20Mbps was $400. Is this typical, do fiber prices really drop off like this once you purchase more than 10Mbps? Shannon D. Denniston, Co-FounderKyWiFi, LLC - Mt.

This is for Sprint bandwidth via fiber (upstream has two OC12 circuits and has a ton of excess bandwidth available). We see anywhere from $50 to $200 per meg for 10Mbps commit depending on who you buy it from. Interestingly, blended bandwidth prices tend to be cheaper than tier 1 bandwidth and yet blended bandwidth tends to have higher quality. I'm thinking about asking them for a quote for 10Mbps/10Mbps burstable to 100Mbps/100Mbps. Anyone have a burstable plan like this with their upstream? How are high bandwidth burstable plans like this usually priced by a provider? Generally, most providers are going to want you to commit to more than 10 megs for a burstable FE port; usually at least 20. One provider's quote difference between 10Mbps and 20Mbps was $400. Is this typical, do fiber prices really drop off like this once you purchase more than 10Mbps? Like anything, the more you buy the less you pay per unit. Substantial savings are available at 100Mbps for example. -Matt -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

From the numbers I've seen, that's fairly common. Most of the cost is fixed regardless; if you want, say, 10Mbps, they'll probably have to set you up a DS3 circuit, which is capable of handling up to 45Mbps. Most bandwidth providers have to go through a local telco to get the DS3, and it'll cost them the same to have that circuit regardless of how much it's being used. If you need more bandwidth, hey, the circuit's already there, it's just a matter of turning up the bandwidth knob. Since the extra bandwidth is cheap (as compared to the costs of the actual circuit provisioning) it's to their benefit to sell you as much bandwidth as they can, because they'll probably make more profit that way.
