> Comcast peering Make sure you recognize the difference between BGP peering, versus supporting BGP on a transit connection. I'm doubtful on Comcast's willingness to peer with small providers at small traffic levels. (allthough not to long ago, I seem to remember they were offering paid peering for $2/mb paid to them, almost anyone qualifying. But paying for peering kind of defeats the purpose, when transit can be bought for under $2 /mb now.)
