I just saw the thread http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23288

The guy was asking for host who can offer under $70/mbit:eek2:

Is it possible even if using Cogent?

Dont Cogent do it at $10/mbit? I think its like $30/mbit for commercial use though. Still, I wouldn't use it as a single carrier. Seeya,

I thought 1 Mbits/sec is something like 334 GB/month?
Am I wrong?

Even at $70/Mbit, it's about $.21/Gb

At $10/Mbit, that's $.03/Gb:eek3:

I am totally confused:confused:

Yep, thats right. 1mbit = 330gb~, lots of gb :)

Cogent are pretty much the cheapest you'll ever see at the moment. If you look around on the board, you'll notice a broad range of opinions on Cogent. The quality of bandwidth is not really comparable to say UUNet or Level3 etc. They're still kinda new from what I know, so time will tell. It is amazingly cheap bandwidth though.
