We've priced this lately and I think the cheapest you are looking at is around $6500/month for a 25Mbit connection. That's not a huge amount of money but it's enough that it shows up on people's radar screens as a line item, it's $80K/year, so there would have to be some justification. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
