How much would an OC-255 line cost?

Another thing, what kind of Quake pings are we talking about with that sort of speed.. .1ms? less?

How much would it cost per month? a million? more?

Depends on your route to the game server, or if your the server, it depends on the route of the players participating.

Oc-48 Costs over a million a month.. OC-255 would run in the 2 Mil + area.

Your Pings and Speeds would still be dependent on your Route to wherever, and the other persons line speed and traffic....

An OC-255 would probably be even over $2 million a month since an OC-192 comes before it. Im guessing at least $5 million a month.

Theres a reason only big Telcos and broadband ISPs like Sprint, MCI UUnet, and Qwest have them.

I wish I could get one though.

Just for our company to get into AT&T's ATM T3 here in Canada it cost's us over $40k(cdn) per month.

haha a million a month to funny.

As for the guy with a T-3 (DS3) .. those run in the 4-5k a month range.

I would say a OC192 would run 100k a month max.

Don't forget the date of this thread...was back in 2000. Back then T3s were quite fast, versus these days when they're rather commonplace and much less expensive. And he noted in his price that it was Canadian dollars.
