Anyone know where i can find information on prices for T3 connections. I would love to have it, probably can't afford it, but need some research on it.

thanks

Yes, and those prices do not include the local loop.

The good news is that the local loop is tariffed, the bad news is that there is only one supplier.

Exactly!!

You still must also include the set-up fee which is in the right hand column.

You can get a burstable T3 connection for $2000 a month. They allow an average of 2 mbps of traffic and allow you to burst to 45 mbps on demand.

You can get a burstable OC3 (155 mbps) for $9800 per month.

Of cours those fees do not include local loop but t3's are not that expensive anymore unless you want a dedicated one.

Internet connection prices have dropped a lot in the past few years and I find it surprising people are still quoting them for prices from 1999 or so.

Just a question - do most ISP's in the U.S. pay a per Megabyte fee to their Tier-1 upstreams like UUnet etc ? Or is it just a circuit/port charge?

I am evaluating whether it is cheaper to pay a per Megabyte charge, or lease a dedicated circuit to the U.S and interconnect directly to one of the peering points like MAE-WEST/PAIX.
