Re: [AFMUG] price range for a dedicated 100x100 service.
Well, okay, but in that general area. The only fiber network available at my house is the one I had brought to my house. However, I would still price out a service as Windstream, Comcast, Frontier, etc. would as they're in my area. None of them have fiber anywhere close to me, but they're in my market. You're in the greater SF area, so whatever that circuit costs in that area. Maybe you hit up a reseller to see a rough quote from the other operators for that area before you price yours. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Bill Prince via Af af@afmug.com To: af@afmug.com Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2014 3:25:53 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] price range for a dedicated 100x100 service.
