Agreed.

"Sweet bandwidth deals" are in the $3-5 MBit range". If you push a lot of volume, you can get down to $1-3 if you find the right backbone provider and have a decent commit. Also keep in mind the bandwidth blend. There are many different carriers available, you do not have to only use Level3 as an example, who is the most expensive. Many provide good value and better pricing.

Anything over $5 Mbit really is over the 'average' in regards to bandwidth on the open market. It doesn't mean there are not plenty of ISP's out there who try and charge $10+ MBit. But that is robbery for the informed consumer. Shop around.
