I was doing some search and accidently come across Tristar Comm. I checked out their colocation pricing. It amaze me. They charge $1500 for 100mbps and 100% uptime guarantee. Anyone using them? Are they reliable? Is this too good to be true?

Hmm.. Loads fine from where I can see. Basically I was trying to lookup an IP address and here is the result I get.

Network IP address lookup:

whois whois.arin.net 66.232.63.1:


Tristar Communications (NETBLK-TRISTARNET) TRISTARNET
66.232.0.0 - 66.232.63.255

Yeah.. I might have misread. But $20mbps is cheap.

If anyone knows where i can find $20 per mbps please tell me i would pay you for theinformation...lol

In fact, if you can find me anything less than $40 a month per mbps that doesnt require anything over a 5 mbps limit i will send you a check for $100.00 dollars just for making me a happy man:)

I dont care if its cogent...............................................lol

hey i just thought of something.. thats something else walmart could sale bandwidth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe.. i will talk to my department manager and see if i can get cheap bandwidth from walmart and they can have the under aged 5 year old kids do the cogent line installations instead of keeping them in factories all day just to make shoes...LOL

Here you can find bands at many widths for under $20:

(couldent help it)

The site thats posted looks to be this:

Rack space + fee to connect to router + bandwidth = Monthly charges

1/4 rack, 400
port charge 1500
10mbps for 200
The Total per month would be: $2100

so... No thanks :)
