But ad other things on top of it.
1. The CX to your rack
2. How about a IPS / IDS in front.
3. Layer 3 Router and know how of BGP, getting more then one route etc
4. How about a FCP
When you add all this 500 megs is going to end up costing you $. Also is this 5 * 100 meg ports or an aggregate because when you do 100 meg you are not going to push 100 meg ....but more like 60.
You price for a 500 meg caped port vs 500 meg commit on a GIG will be different.

a lot of key factors here, also theres a difference between someone commiting for 500M vs 10G. Do you want to comit to someone for 10g? thats a lot of bandwidth and will get you a lot better rates than 500M.
Just because a host buys 10G commits + and gets great deals doesn't mean you have to. We have overhead costs, such as hardware, employees and other things to pay for.
Aw hell who am I guessing. Hosting is just a cash printing machine, hell we make up our own prices don't we?
