What backbones? We had an option to get much cheaper pricing on Cogent. We decided to pay a bit extra for premium.
Also, most of our cost was for the hardware(not the bandwidth). We went with top-notch storage with RAID and a bunch of ram. In hindsight, we should have bought the hardware for one-time fee but didn't for cash flow reasons.
