No, it wasn't. The cost of a raw T-1 was *never* all that much. It was (and still is) the cost of the router port that would stun a Percheron. But the aggregation discount is steeper than anything else I can think of (a T-3 doesn't cost anything *like* 28 times as much as a T-1). Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
