I find it very hard to keep track on how much every carrier is charging per mbps. Are there many resources that you can use to keep up to date? I know every carriers business plan is to keep the cosumer in the dark about bandwidth pricing. Only way to find out is to call every carrier there is. Is there a easier way of doing this?

Heres some pricing info that I got while I was playing with it. Seems like you can get down to $150.00 per Mbps if you buy a 155 Mps connection from seller X

Committed Rate Price (USD) Price per Mbps (USD)

2 Mbps 700.00 350.00
4 Mbps 1400.00 350.00
6 Mbps 2100.00 350.00
8 Mbps 2800.00 350.00
10 Mbps 2250.00 225.00
15 Mbps 3375.00 225.00
20 Mbps 3600.00 180.00
25 Mbps 4500.00 180.00
30 Mbps 5400.00 180.00
45 Mbps 8100.00 180.00
50 Mbps 9000.00 180.00
60 Mbps 10800.00 180.00
70 Mbps 12600.00 180.00
80 Mbps 14400.00 180.00
90 Mbps 16200.00 180.00
100 Mbps 18000.00 180.00
155 Mbps 23250.00 150.00

Also played with speed test between Yipes and Cogent. Not sure how acurate they are or if I did it right.
