20/Mbps for premium blend bandwidth isn't a bad deal. its a good one.
now take in consideration for the load balancer and firewall?
Quick someone name me a load balancer that can do layer7+ handle 20+ backend nodes that doesn't cost 20k+ per balancer?
Same for a HA pair of firewalls that can run 1Gbps worth of firewalling without killing itself?
300/box if its including management, SLA and proper load balancing and firewall equipment is a reasonable price.
No one wants a open source layer4 load balancer, I'm talking F5/Zeus/Netscaler and netscreen/Cisco ASA type firewall at the minimum.
Now if your paying all that money and not getting quality hardware in return i'd be questioning the situation. Ask the company for the firewall/load balancing setup. that will tell you if your getting jerked around on the pricing or not.
