Wow, 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."
