I'm not too sure how realistic Cogent is -- they're only available in certain places, and you apparently need to subscribe to at least a Gigabit to get Cogent to come to your building/house; so it might not be entirely practical.
But yeah, I really doubt that $7,000/month is worth it. (EDIT: If you've got $7,000/month to spare, go for it... I just think you can get a much better deal.)

well, i mean, IF he has cagespace from a data center (it seems he's on a sprintlink line, which is more than pretty ok) then i'd imagine a cogent (or yipes or verio or aleron or something cheaper) drop would be available to him in the datacenter.
i agree he can be getting a better deal. if his sites are on that line, they're doing great though from europe. east coast sprintlink is great from austria. i'm a tad jealous there.

id rather not share too much info. however, it is 100mbps (which i just upgraded to 150 mbps, (only $500 more per month) they gave me a deal. So yes, im getting 150 MBPS for 7500 per month. Maybe they read the post here eh? As for as details, you'd have to ask my techs. I do know its high-quality, and it works very well. As far as capping it, with the 150mbps we are now caapping at 1500 gb ... my techs said 600 gb is good for a 10mbps line so, i raised it considerably. im just here to offer the best for my customer.

You can do 350GB/mo on a T1 (1.536Mbits/sec) comfortably without any slowdown during peak hours.
Considering the going rate for T1 lines with Internet connectivity is about $700 a month (from a premium provider like ATT, Sprint, or Worldcom), you could load balance two T1 lines and easily shave $5600 off your monthly bill.
