OK, I have several offers, and since I can only make one post here a week here they all are.

First, I am offering Level(3) bandwidth. It is direct from Level(3) and the sale now is only on 100mbit/sec commits or greater, I can still do smaller commitments, but they are all now at the normal prices. These prices are available at all Level(3) POPs.

100mbit/sec over FastE - $3200 - $32 per mbit/sec
100mbit/sec over GigE - $3500 - $35 per mbit/sec
200mbit/sec over GigE - $6600 - $33 per mbit/sec
500mbit/sec over GigE - $15,000 - $31 per mbit/sec

Please do not request less than 1 cabinet of colocation for these.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Next, I am preselling colocation and bandwidth services in our new network at Equinix in Chicago that will be opening in a little bit over a month. Our network will be fully redundant and the bandwidth providers will be Level(3) and MCI, with one other provider being added in the near future, likely Global Crossing. Here are the colocation and bandwidth fees for that setup. Note: You can also get the above Level(3) bandwidth deals here.

Full Rack w/40A (enough for 40 1u servers) - $1000
Full Rack w/20A - $900
Half Rack w/20A - $600
Quarter Rack w/10A - $350
Cross Connects (Outside our cage) - $250

Space for single servers (Includes one outlet)
1u - $40
2u - $65
3u - $85
4u/Tower - $100

There are no setup fees for colocation and each server receives access to a remote reboot port. The quarter, half, and full racks receive one remote reboot outlet per A of power.

Level(3)/UUNet Bandwidth BGP

Burstable prices
1-10mbit/sec - $70 per mbit/sec
10-50mbit/sec - $55 per mbit/sec
50-100mbit/sec - $45 per mbit/sec
100+ mbit/sec - Please contact us.

Capped Pricing
10mbit/sec - $450
100mbit/sec - $4000

Our bandwidth is guaranteed to not be oversold and to be of top quality. The pricing listd here is all introductory pricing, only available for one month, until we open. Currently the scheduled grand opening date is June 18th, but we will likely have systems setup a couple weeks before that.

Note: If you are interested in dedicated servers also feel free to contact me as we will have very competitive dedicated server pricing. We can easily do custom deals at this time, before things get busy with the grand opening.

I would just like to note that the Level(3)/MCI BGP may end up being Level(3) and Peer1, either way, we are only using top-rate providers.

Were you not one of them that didn't pay Peer1 and got shut off a couple months or a year or so ago?

We had one colo'd server with them for which we had to end the contract early. We weren't shut down, the client the server was for cancelled because they went out of business. After that there was a slight billing dispute, but Joe Cooper and I got it all settled. We're looking at getting Peer1 bandwidth again. Now it's almost looking like it'll definately be Peer1 and Level(3) bandwidth, not MCI and Level(3). Why would Peer1 deal with me if we really had an unsettled problem in the past. I have nothing to hide, and that former "problem" was no big deal, just thought I should explain that.
