Hey guys,
On average how much are you paying per Mbit from your various suppliers??
Also, what other little features have your providers thrown in?
I know we got a good deal going on with NTL in the way we have a few Mbit leased line off of them, and we get 30 ISDN lines coming in with no monthly rental fee.

Its a heck of alot cheaper to colo.
When buying a colo connection, your be looking for UK and intl. UK will be alot cheaper then intl. UK usually means linx routes, so most of europe.
UK per 1mbit will be around £15 - £50 a month. Full intl is expensive and various alot, our ISP does it for around £140 a month per 1mbit.
Most ISPs will do some kind of deal, where if you buy x amount of UK your get x amount of intl free or cheaper.

Lots :)
A got a quote from pipex over a year ago, so this is most probably cheaper, but for a 2mbit its something like £5000 install, then 2k a month.

Corr.. who were u quoted from!!!
I know WCom/UUNet offer there 4Mbit service with router lease for around £1800 a month (maybe thats just special rates cause they like us... but i doubt it :P)
I know that NTL offer a straight DIA at around ~£12000 a year, with like a dirt cheap install fee ~£500 (tho thats over copper, or your premises are next door to the exchange ;))
