Michael,

These were quotes from Cogent? Or another provider?

Yours,

Hello David,

In my deelings with co-lo.. Quotes that I have gotten in the past were
around $1000 for a 100mbps feed. But in the fine context of the quotes its
up to 10mbps then price increases based upon usage above the 10mbps.  Not
sure if yours is like that so read the fine print.
