With regard to this post I would have to say that the price for fully managed 600 megabit with all hardware is going to depend on

1) Complexity of the initial setup and ongoing support needs
2) The overall capital expenditure that the host has

The reality is that depending on what the client requires this could be a $12,000 a month solution or a $25,000 a month solution.

The funny thing to watch out for when quoting a high bandwidth solution is how far some hosts will drop their drawers to close a sale. At the end of the day, I'm always making sure that we price accordingly so that we can continue to reinvest in support and expanding our infrastructure. Not all hosts do this and far too many deliver sub-par solutions. Saving money on your hosting bill doesn't mean shit if you're losing business or not monitizing on your traffic optimally.

My advice, obviously your business is doing well - choose your host wisely!
