My apologies; I was just too damned tired to do this last night, by which
time I had gotten my answer: $17 for a 5 way blend based on L3 and GBLX, in
Tampa, isn't really all that bad. (100mbs commit; GigE fiber redundant)
City Pipe Commit Carrier(s) $/mbs
=======================================================================
various 1G+ unk Cogent/HE <1
various 1G 1G HE 1 for 3yr cont.
various 1G+ unk carriers not spec 2-3
multi 10G/agg 10G carrier not spec 3
various unk 1G carrier not spec 3-20[1]
LAmetro 4x1G 250-500M carriers not spec <5
NYC/colo 1G 500M carrier not spec 5
var/colo 1G 100-1G blend not spec 15-20 down to 8
Portland 1G 100M AboveNet 9
various unk 700Magg Internap 9
var/colo unk unk blend not spec. 10
various unk 50-100M carriers not spec 20-10
unk/colo 1G 150Magg Tier2 not spec 15 renego from *50*
SF/colo unk "small" carriers not spec 45
Those are sorted in ascending order by the lowest rate quoted; where
I could discern that it was for colo delivery, I've said so. Some commits
(and hence rates) were aggregated over pipes or sites; if it was clear that
the price applied to multiple quotes or blended bandwidth I've noted that
too.
My thanks to the folks who took a moment to contribute; the outcome of my
inquiry was "nah; I guess the price I got quoted really isn't all that bad,
given the quality of the datacenter involved (which is quite nicely done).
Cheers,
