That's a much different number than the $4000 you posted above for multi-homed.
not every host charges the same ammount and half the hosts that come up with incredible deals on premium bandwith push 50%+ out on cogent or other cheap stuff to keep pricing low.
I know a guy who has a rack in VA, multi homed level3 etc., and he can sell it at 23$ a meg & make a nice profit on a 100meg line.
Hosting companies artificially inflate prices. When you're doing large volume, charging $30 is an insult imo
$2300 for a 100 meg line is alot different than charging $23 per meg....on a capped 100mbps line you can realistically only do 70-75 megs....any more than that and your site will be slow/unreachable during peak times.

So 70 megs @ $2300 is almost $33 per meg.
thats why you find great deals on 100mbs single server setups no one wants thier shit to be slow at peak so on a 100mbs box your doing more like 70 peak or 60 on 95th or so.

for my 15 peer tier 1 box 2400 plus the servers which can be as low as 100 each, No one Offers what we do. If you want cogent etc I guess you could do 14 or so but if you want quality, no one can match our peering.
Probably around 900-1000$ at hivelocity.com. I have a client that has a 50Mbps server there and it hits the cap constantly at 47Mbps. I really haven't found anyplace that beats them for unmanged servers.
If you want quality bandwith (not cogent or the verio crap) it will run you $25-$30 a meg. Guys around here just dont understand that to build a hosting company the right way costs alot of money. Routers, firewalls, fiber drops, etc.. all cost alot of money, believe me if i was to show what we spent on our cisco 6509 switches most would shit, let alone the HA Checkpoint Gig Firewalls, etc.. If you want a good reliable host you have to help pay for the high end equiptment they use to give you the bandwith and reliablity you desire. Look at Swiftwill, one of he best in the business, they charge $30 a meg and no one even questions the price. Reliablity is the key when your $$$ depends on uptime.
That said i can do a IBM x335 dual 2.4 Xeon ,2.5 gigs ram, 2 - 146 scsi drives, 100meg uncapped, tier1 bandwith for $3000 a month.
