Sounds good to me. What do you think?

sounds too good to be true. Are they going with cogent? But at any rate, I will just wait when it comes out. Which company is this?

cheers,
:beer:

really interesting... but seems unbelievable.

First off - a full T-3 is at least $6k telco charge and at least $10k service charge (and that is getting a steal). Based on that price you'd could offer 1MEG for $355/month. Figure each 1meg can push out 324 gigs per month...

Then you are getting the bandwidth for about $1.09 per gig. And they're trying to give you 400GIGS for less then that? Hmm doesn't sound possible to me unless you are sleeping with UUNET's CEO or using Cogent ;) .

In my opinion this company will be around for about a month until they realize their equipment/bandwidth costs are way more then what they're selling them for.

Just my 2 cents...

I'd like to see where this info is from, datacenter, URLs, etc. Otherwise, what is the point in discussing it?

Its all about dreaming Chicken......;)

I'll find some docs to show you guys how it would work.

not to mention .. if you make no money .. why bother ?

I rather have 400 happy customers that I can dedicated my time to them, than 2000 unhappy ones becuase I only make 5.00 each, so I have no time to devote to them ...

just my 0.02

There's a sensible idea...

Sure seems to be a wave of these companies popping up with the business model of bulk hosting by low profit. :rolleyes:
Gives the hosting business a bad name.

It sounds like an idea on the Xenon210.com drawing board :D

Quick to jump to conclusions. Sort of embarassing when they're wrong, though. :)

My friend is the one who is heading up this whole thing, actually.

Meh. Whatever lets you sleep...

Cogent? :)
