How Much Bandwidth Can You Buy With $15,000?
- brk 17y agoWow, that's a whole lot of non-info. As some of the comments sort-of point out, a major part of bandwidth pricing is loop costs and density. $2,000/mo buys you a lot more bandwidth in a big colo facility than it buys you at your off-net office park. Like many other things, bandwidth gets cheaper per/MB when you commit to higher rates and amounts. Just like real-estate, buying 100 acres of undeveloped land is far less expensive than buying 100 individual undeveloped 1 acre parcels. And to carry the real-estate analogy further, there is a "location" aspect. Not all pipes are the same, there are Tier-1 carriers and Tier-Shit carriers. So, the ultimate answer is: "It depends. A lot."
