5 Gig on 10 GigE port $90,000, Full 10 GigE port $175,000. Level3 bandwidth?

[Dennis Nugent]

Looking for Level3 bandwidth?

Due to recent changes in the group that we were participating in, we are forming a new group, co-op, whatever you want to call it to get Level3 bandwidth The desire is to get 5+ gbps aggregate so that we can negotiate aggressive pricing.

I already have 1+ gig committed, so getting to 5 gig shouldnt be an issue.

We will propably have a 100 meg minimum on either FastE or GigE
Costs for the port will depend on the data center.

Price will depend on the commit rate that we get with Level3.

Please -- serious responses only.

[Dennis Nugent]

This will be available in all data centers where Level3 is present
There can be multiple clients per data center.
No maximum on bandwidth per client

Based on the response to date, it is quite likely that we will meet the 5 gig goal

Hi,

Are they willing to waive port charges above a certain commit?

Thanks

[Dennis Nugent]

No, unforturnately they are not going to waive port fees.
It does result in lower $/mbps rate per month

BTW, we now have over 15 gbps of commit and are negotiating aggressive rates with Level3
