I'm using Spectrum now, and at 65/meg, it hurts, since my use is going up as much as 10% a month. Not only that, I haven't been able to get anyone to talk to me or respond to emails in six months, except for matters of collecting money.They're all over that, but I'm too small, I guess, to

Exactly, a x-connect is ~$200-600 a month. Once you get connected, you can peer with as many providers as you want. Free or usually negotiated rates. ryan On Sat, Jan 1, 2011 at 11:26 AM, Travis Johnson t...@ida.net wrote: My guess is the local loop is the big cost... not the actual bandwidth.
