$300 per megabit?? Did you mean GB or TB maybe?

$300 per megabit?? Did you mean GB or TB maybe?
- cthalupa 10y agoIt is likely sold based on throughput and not metered transfer.

- Canada 10y agoI confirm that is indeed megabit per month. (324 gigabytes, or about $0.93 per gigabyte) Yeah, harsh. But hey, it's black market internet access.
- thinkloop 10y ago> megabit (324 gigabytes, or about $0.93 per gigabyte) A megabit is a million bits, or an 1/8 of a megabyte, what do you mean 324 gigabytes?
- kalleboo 10y agoSounds like he means 1 Mbps throughput, not 1 Mb transferred. 1 megabit of leased throughput, 24/7 over a month, adds up to 324 GB of data transferred.
- tornadoboy55 10y ago> black market internet access Sounds like a sentence from a '90s hacker game. Welcome to 2017 I guess..
- rahimnathwani 10y agoI think he means per mbit/s, not per mbit. e.g. $300 would get an unmetered line with a 1mbit/s max throughput
- isostatic 10y agoIndeed, this is how bandwidth is sold. To get an idea of how much $300/mo is, I just had a quote for a 1 gig dedicated ethernet from our office (not a datacentre) in Delhi to our rack in Telehouse Docklands North for $18k a month, or $18/mbit. For datacentre-datacentre I had a quote from Seoul KINX for $5k/month, or $5/mbit. Layer 2 links in both cases. These are fairly long haul links.
- aroch 10y agoYou must be doing relatively small commits (100mbit on a 1Gbps commit?), though I suppose connecting from India may be more expensive than intra-EU. I've been quoted <$2/mbit for UK-Hong Kong for 40Gbps on a 100Gbps commit
