List, Does anyone have sample pricing for Comcast's Paid Peering (http://www.comcast.com/dedicatedinternet/) service they'd be able to share? Also, are there any transit ISPs to avoid when reaching Comcast? I remember discussion last winter about Tata being congested, and would like to understand how common these issues are. I'm preparing to launch a large video broadcast for the state, so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Oscar Caraig
I think all pricing is under NDA for the direct connectivity... we have it, and I know it is under NDA for us... Comcast is in the becoming a tier1 game in a big way so avoiding people who don't already peer with the is probably a plus if you want great connectivity to them. The AS paths I would avoid are _3356_7922_ (usually fine, but subject to the fight de jour between level3 and Comcast) and anything on _6453_7911_ (subject to being saturated all the time). Last I checked AS2914 and a few others still only see Comcast via 6453 which made that sub-optimal. I can send you a AS7922 sales contact if you need it, just hit me up off list... they also have a good list of info on peeringdb for people to contact.

Hi Oscar, John is right about the NDA. Feel free to reach out to Steve Lacoff, as noted at http://www.comcast.com/dedicatedinternet/ Volume, location, term, etc. are all factors to consider. Steve will be at NANOG if you, or others have questions. Cheers, -ren On Fri, Sep 9, 2011 at 3:01 PM, John van Oppen <jvanoppen@spectrumnet.us> wrote:

List,

Thank you, Oscar Caraig
Yes, definitely NDA in any of our dealings... I'd say the pricing was "competitive" for sure...
