My point was that bandwidth depends on commitment level, thats the way it works, so you cant call Level3 and just ask for a 100mb commit price and compare it to your quote. It also depends on location, as pricing is sometimes location specific.


Everyone who wants cheap shit forgets about:

- buying switches
- buying routers
- buying parts for the routers and switches
- space costs
- power costs
- internal networking costs
- initial hardware costs (no matter what you want to believe, a server still does cost ~$700 (for a p4 2.8) if youre buying a real rackmount)
- replacement hardware costs (what if something goes bad, theres gotta be hotspare replacements)
- IP costs (they arnt free either)
- your fully managed service cost (people want money to be available to help customers who are whining)
- software license costs


tons of other shit... you think $399 covers it all? HAHA.
