Will you offer server where we will be able to get more than an unmetered 10mbps connection. I get a customer who develop software (not warez) and ask me for a connection bigger than a 10mbps.

For example, the user wanted 60,000 Gig/month. Because i can't offer him this, i loose this big customer.

You will probably have to get your own 100Mbit/sec pipe from Cogent at $3000+/month. And that is only ~26K Gb/month.

Where did you get the $3000+ figure from, huck?

Can we use cogent connection with a server from rackshack?

$3000 for 100Mbps and $30000 for 1000Mbps... are those prices for an ISP? are the other prices for non ISP's? (for private/business use etc?) Wow! $500 for 100Mbps if you're on the local loop!?

For a "Metroloop", like if you were a company with two different offices in the same city and wanted to connect them together (not internet). Intercity would be two offices in separate cities that you want to link together that Cogent services...

However, those prices are their "Service Provider" rates, if you weren't reselling the bandwith then you can get the 100Mb for $1,000 and 1Gb for $10,000. http://www.cogentco.com/Access/retail.html But there are certain requirements (mainly distance from their POP's).
