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
obstacle right now is finding cheap bandwidth. So even a statement
that bandwidth is cheap right now does not apply to me.

Been there, done ALL of that. Not worth the headaches. Bandwidth is
CHEAP now... time is still the most valuable thing in this business...
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. :)
