Cogent bandwidth at cheaper rates / more bandwidth included - We believe
in quality not quantity and build a network for that instead of buying the
cheapest bandwidth we can. Since we're in the process of moving our
network isn't as multihomed right now as usual, but we'll most
likely (reviewing contracts currently) be on net with AT&T, PCCWBtn and Level3.
If you REALLY had a need for a specific backbone then many times we can turn up
a new 100 megabit fiber (or gigabit) to a new vendor within 24 hours (obviously
you have to commit to quite a bit of bandwidth for us to add a backbone) -
but if you need to be on net with someone in particular that's an option
with us and we can do it very quickly and painlessly. </span></font></p>

$200/month from Equinix though and I can't control that cost, however it's
roughly the same cost for T1, T3, Ethernet, or fiber (SC, ST, FC
