Is a web host will multiple backbone connections more appealing to you or is a host with a "Cogent Like" connection enough for you?

All depends on what type of service you want to provide and what market you want to target.

So, would a host with a low pricepoint but excellent network connectivity be unusual and valueable to people in the hosting community.

Low prices + "Excellent" connectivity (then factor in excellent support, etc) don't come together. Depends what you think is low.. etc..

I would consider low to be between 6 and 10 dollars and maybe one account at $4.

What would those specs include?

I wouldn't host with someone with a price, that seemed a little too low.

The 6 dollar account would include 3Gb of bandwidth and 100MB of storage, cpanel, 5 subdomains, and 25 emails.

I think that's pretty resonable.
