1/Mbps will never happen. the raw cost for equipment and leased fiber, even with IRU's on the fiber 1/Mbps is simply just not profitable well it can be but not a whole lot.

Unless of course you peer with everyone and their brother in your _one_ location then maybe its a option but 2.5-3/Mbps is a strong support that would be hard to drop, unless that tier2 network is grossly overselling.

I believe the new market is sub 10/Mbps all around, kinda like the drop we saw from ~100/Mbps in 2001 over 3 years it dropped dramatically down into 20-30's and then 3 years later 10-20's. Now we are in the 4-10 market.. but there is a bottom.. raw operating costs..
