I'd love to know where you can get a fiber circuit for $500/m. (And even if you can, then you probably can't compete with whoever's selling you that circuit anyway.) When we started we haggled considerably.. (had to sign a 20 year deal) and managed to get a 2G/10G circuit for $1,500/m. (A 1G circuit would have been $1200/m)
- mciancia 7y agoSome places are cheaper than others, looking at this thread especially outside US. In Poland you can get 1Gbps connection for 200USD/month and 5Gbps for ~600USD/m
- cavisne 7y agoThese are not fiber circuits, ie dedicated bandwidth, they are shared residential services.
- ApolloFortyNine 7y agoDo you think there's a company advertising 5gbps at $600/m for residential services? Those are dedicated fiber prices, all be it very good ones (I'd question the peering outside of Europe).
- celicaraptor 7y agoThere's free.fr that sells 10G for 50EUR/month.
- mciancia 7y agoThose are not shared residential services, but normal business/ISP grade connection with SLA and so on.
- dicknuckle 7y agoI guarantee it's not dedicated. it may go over a dedicated line at some point, but I'm in the layer2 business running GMPLS and shared switched traffic and you're either on GPON or some Metro Ethernet gear. you are sharing the neighborhood bandwidth on a metro switch, or you're sharing both light spectrum (GPON) AND the neighborhood bandwidth. you could have 100g but it's still shared.
- ApolloFortyNine 7y ago2G/10G? Normally I see it considerably cheaper for download bandwidth vs upload bandwidth, as your provider will just sell/reserve the upload bandwidth for servers, since servers use vastly more upload. Of course, the rate you gave holds with the $1/mb I was assuming. You oversell bandwidth obviously.
- coryrc 7y agoIt's probably 2G sustained, 10G burst of some sort.
