Plus they want to oversell this cheap bandwidth. They don¹t want you to max out that Gig circuit. Allows them to oversell their bandwidth that much more. --
John, You are correct, Gig is starting to go for $1-$2 per mb. Not only from Hurricaine, although Hurricaine is clearly a disruptive force leader today. Hurricaine is doing a big marketing push with Equinix, which I think is really helping them expand both in market share and quality of peering. Having to buy Gig quantity to get a discount is no longer a disadvantage when it is 10x less per mb than 100mb quantity :-) The problem is that nobody (End user customers) needs a Gig. So providers dont want to sell you a gig in remote buildings where there are customers that you can resell to, or they under cut themselves. They also cant do it in buildings where they have to buy/lease the fiber from someone else, without multiple customers to share it. It has to be from a place that they already cost justified the Dark fiber purchase. Cost is still all about transport, getting into the colo.
