Michael, Thanks for this heads up; much appreciated. With what other providers have you discussed fiber-optic deals? What kind of lead times do they require, and what kind of pricing? I'd like to set this up quickly and cheaply. =) Yours, -david ----- Original Message ----- From: <michael@aplatform.com> To: "David E.

From other providers. My point being just read the fine print. If it says $1000 for 100mbps thats cool. Just ake sure its for the full pipe.

These were quotes from Cogent? Or another provider?

Hello David,
In my deelings with co-lo.. Quotes that I have gotten in the past were around $1000 for a 100mbps feed. But in the fine context of the quotes its up to 10mbps then price increases based upon usage above the 10mbps. Not sure if yours is like that so read the fine print.

Hi, all. I'm looking to start a non-profit community colocation facility
in
Silicon Valley, and it seemed to me that Cogent Communications had the best deal on getting a big chunk of bandwidth ($1000/months for 100mbps).
Are there comparable deals out there, or is Cogent the only one at this price point? Do they have good peering? What kind of latency/throughput does one get over their network? Do they have any customers? Any of you use Cogent?
Thanks *so* much for any of your input; we're hoping to keep costs way down, any input on this would be much appreciated.
Yours, -david
