Anybody else wonder how anything in Nac.net is $4 per GB over??? I mean level3 has way nicer facilities and only charges .25 cents!

Well, I haven't compaired prices.,,, but I bet at level 3 your going to be paying quite a bit more per month for that same server to sit there.
So... what's the point.. level3 will make the extra funds from server space, where burst might cut you a better deal, then if you need more bandwidth, you pay a bit more.

Also, bandwidth in almost any server house will cost you more if you go over your limit than if you pre buy it in advance.

Well thats not always true.

Alot of the new datacenters coming up are able to do things alot cheaper.

The fact of the matter is what cost a ton to build a datacenter 5 years ago, is a ton less now to build.

I mean things are slowly dropping

Where are you getting those numbers from? $0.25 sounds waaaaay off to me.

I know level3 does some bandwidth for its T3's a little diff with On-Net and Off-Net..

More Less On-Net there network was cheap.
Off-Net was higher maybe the $.25 per is for on-Net i am not sure but sound low to me..
