If you're across an ocean from the US, you have to factor in the cost of running underwater cable.
If that is the case, why is it almost the same cost, if not more expensive, to get a LA<>NY OC3 then a NY<>LND STM1?
i would imagine that the cost of trenching across a continent is somewhat more labour intensive than reeling cable out of the back of a boat. although slicing a cable break in the desert of Nevada is probably less labour intensive than hauling a cable up in the middle of the atlantic. but then again, there are probably far fewer errant backhoes in the atlantic. -- [ Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +1 416 410-5633 ] [ Now with more and longer words for your reading enjoyment. ]
