But you're talking about getting connections to 3 exchange points and the "stuff" in between. I would say costs might be roughly even. But what about when you add in the network engineering, monitoring, and maintenance you need when you run your own network?

Yes, at that point it is much less to buy access from a large NSP. The problem is that you lose a lot when you do that. You can't make any money if you are getting your access from a up-stream provider. Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.
