What is the pricing per mbps for a T3 from AT&T?

What is pricing on GigE's for:

Level3
UUNET
QWest

--------

What are those 4 carriers going at currently?

Im being told AT&T is $200+/mbps at even an oc3 commit - I cant believe that.

Someone a lil more informed help me out please

[Amish_Geek]

AT&T quoted me $3600/mo for 3 bonded T1's, and that included the line lease. of course that was to get it piped to my office for a WISP I was thinking of starting up.

I dunno what they would be in a datacenter.

Level3 will go to sub 50 on a Full gigE.
UUNET is at 60~70 on a Full gigE, I'm assuming Qwest is about the same.
ATT is at about ~80 on a Full gigE

I'm just guessing this from the last time I chat with agent selling transit.

Are you trying to price out what cybercon pays in St. Louis?

These prices are fairly accurate. Slightly aggressive, but close enough.

[Mrdredd]

Yes, I am MFJP - I have a client I am trying to close a deal on, and I was looking for more approximate quotes.

Thank You both- this confirms what I was thinking.

What do you mean by "full gigE"?
You mean 100Mbps commitment on a Gig line?
Or a 1,000Mbps commitment?

[Mrdredd]

a full gige, as in 1000mbps commit

[WII-Aaron]

On a full Gig-E AT&T is about $80-$90. OC-3 pricing is about $150-$200.

Level3 is Sub $50 on a Gig-E.

Qwest is about $70.

If you play your cards right you can get UUNet for about $50 on a Gig-E.

So you're telling me that a full GigE at $80 per meg would cost $80,000 per month??

What about a 100-200Mbps commit on GigE's?

100 - 200 MB on which provider?

At some location, UUNET would go for 50/meg --> Such as market post tower, but it's location specific.

Yes, Full GigE at $80 per meg cost 80K a month.

Here are my guess for 100Mbps
Level3 - $125 Direct, $70~80 thru agents
Qwest - $150 Direct
ATT - $200 Direct
UUNET - $180 Direct

These pricing maybe on the high side, but it does cost more to go direct with the carriers. I'm assuming you just called up the carrier and ask for a pricing. If you even call up HE.net tomorrow and asked for 100mbps, I think they'll tell you it's 100/meg too. Of course, knowing someone makes a difference with these carriers.

You means it cost US$50 or what?

$50 per Mbit.....so 50k for a full gige.

[Mrdredd]

Mfjp - you seem to know some about St. Louis and Cybercon - is there any reason what so ever, that the carriers would be charging them a whole lot more than everyone else?

I have a hard client who is arguing because he's believing what the owner of Cybercon is telling him about being charged - I frankly dont believe it because I know the prices and I know what can be worked out.

Im trying to get him down from paying around $20k/month to about $12k or so but he cant believe that I can offer him such lower prices (In the same DC/same carriers)

[Mrdredd]

Ack - nevermind - the client thinking he knew everything was determined to tell me he is getting the lowest price out of every customer cybercon has at a low low rate of $200/mbps

That coming from the owner of Cybercon ( which it did )

I think theyre afraid of losing direct customers, eh?

Considering I get the exact same thing he was getting at 75% less!

I decided to stop trying to pitch to him and just layed it out for him - to bad he got offended and called me a scam artist once I told him what my cost was - then proceeded to hang up on me
