We pay @ 4K/month for 3Mbps/512Kbps for a rural town, which is
really 3Mbps on a 5x oversell. It's really ugly, so caching is a
must. There is no hope for a better future either 8(.

Consider yourself lucky...in
the REAL rural areas we pay over $1000/mth for 6 meg

Akamai / other caching servers
I have two OC-3 connections (155Mbps) and one OC-12 connection
(620Mbps)... and even at those levels, I still average $50/meg
as my hard cost. I am selling 10Mbps x 10Mbps dedicated
connections to businesses and schools, etc. for $500/month.

I too would love to know that formula. I doubt
if it would work in rural Tama County Iowa. Most
businesses are agribusiness (i.e. farmers) and I
already have most of them in my footprint. My biggest

even a statement that bandwidth is cheap right now
does not apply to me.
I wish I had $500/mth business customers to
sign up everyday!

I can spend hours messing, tweaking, fighting,
adjusting, etc. a cache
proxy, or in that same amount of time I can go
install a business
connection for $500/month and pay for ANY additional
bandwidth it may
save me. And I can do this every day. :)

With this your proxy can be fully transparent
appearing as if the requests were sourced
directly from a client instead of your Squid
box.
