There's the actual power you use, the amps they likely reserve in case you go over your usual usage, UPS's, generator(s), cooling, staff to manage all those bits, finite floor space, etc. Also, you're talking about 6mbps, while Jawaid was talking about 100mbps on a 2 year commit. You always get a better rate on bandwidth when buying it in bulk and on multi-year contracts. I need to go see what we're paying Level3 for our GigE circuit. I think it's more (per mbps) than Jawaid was quoted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ -- Eat sushi frequently. - Avi [email protected] is the human contact address.
