Anyone who knows better would not pay $20-$25 its not about you get what you pay for, thats not even close to the industry norm.

I know several well respected hosting company that charge 20+/Mbps on commits like this. Sure commit to higher levels maybe get 15ish and see a 25 on overage.

Maybe some companies charge 25/Mbps because they roll in managed services and other goodies in with it.

Sure 8/mbps is great if you only care about say US only traffic but if your going to go to UE your 8/Mbps bandwidth is going to suffer.

Cogent is great if you plan to stick in the US. Along with HE. other than that sure maybe savvis is ok they are little bit higher but your not going to find level3/at&t/sprint/abovenet or anyother tier1's for that pricing. Unless its oversold by alot.
