According to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comcast
"Comcast has 15.930 million high-speed internet customers"
If a 10G port for transit is paid by comcast $30/Mbit/s monthly
that's 0.19 cent/internet customer/month for a new 10G port
to properly desaturate this particular link.
Did I compute something wrong?
