RE: Pricing for Comcast Connectivity

[John van Oppen <jvanoppen () spectrumnet us>]

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.


Thanks,

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,
