$4/meg from cogent is actually a bit high. I've seen deals for 3/meg on 100mb/s commit, And under 1.8/meg for GigE commit.

If you can come off a large building out of any of the cities here in Ohio that have carrier hotels - you can just backhaul your network right out of the city. Cogent for example on their website today is offering $4/meg (for gige commit I bet) if TW wants to charge $2100 for 40 Meg ($52.50/meg) you really have to start thinking about why not setup some backhauls to give yourself a better rate. Coming from Columbus for example - and getting even $10/meg or Dayton or Cincy for us @ $10/meg allows us to make up the other $42+/- per meg in backhaul costs. Lets say for giggles and grins that Time Warner requires a 4 year contract at a rate of $2100 or at a total cost of $100,800 In turn an agreement from a carrier hotel for Blended bandwidth or even let's say from Cogent at a cost lets say for 40 Meg of $10/meg = $400/mo or $19.200 for the same agreement ( 4 years) You really need to debate what the additional $81,600 could mean to your bottom line. Even setting up multiple links from a carrier hotel - EVEN if it cost you $50K for the links would still place $30K +/- in your bottom line. I could see where some of us that but up against each other could actually build our own Network to assist each other even :-) but that is a different story Many will argue that Cogent stinks - Funny but I feel just the opposite. It is a great product for a good price. AND I find they still kick the heck out of Time Warner - but thats just my opinion.

For example - While Washington Court House is 40+ miles from Columbus I have found a way to purchase bandwidth @ $5.00/meg And yes - even thought he license costs $3K and the radios $10K in the end - I can push a Gig for much lower than i could ever get from TW we are exploring this now in fact On Dec 15, 2010, at 9:07 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: 40 megs for $2100 here Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 8:25 PM, Kurt Fankhauser <li...@wavelinc.com> wrote: Really?
