Anybody know?

Im curious, again.

AT&T is more expensive than many backbones, but this might interest you anyway:

You forgot to throw in the router costs to handle that much traffic so add another 20-40,000 or more one time onto that.

2351 to 2450 Mbps $952,800/month

a routher costs 20,000!!!!!!

I believe , he was referring to routers failing like the thing failed bec. of the routers software or simply an upgrade to its RAM.

You can get an OC3 (155Mbps) for around $40,000/month + loop costs.

If you do not have a large router that will run you about another $30,000 for something good and loaded like a Cisco 7206.

Good Router - 45K includes OC3 card - Fiber hand off to switch.

Loop - 8,500-15,000 "depends on location"
Full - 35,000.00 - 60,000 - Depends on whcih provider"

If you have OC3 you would need a decent Switch with Fiber handoff.

most providers are 1 year minimum contract,


Then the all the utilities - UPS / Genrators ect..

O well :)
