Massive Bandwidth Price Estimate - GoFuckYourself.com

djscrib · 11-11-2005, 01:29 AM

I've been trying to gauge bandwidth prices for large pipes but the quotes pretty much dry up after a T3 connection.

If we were looking for a 2 gbps pipe any guesses on what something like that might cost? I'm hoping economies of scale kick in for this much bandwidth. Or is it just getting a bunch of OC-145 connections?

what the hell?
what are you even talking about? What's this bandwidth for?

5gbps is an OC48, if you want a solid quote on this I'll get back to you tomarow morning

if you're serious hit me up....I can get you a killer deal multihomed to multiple
carriers so 100% full redundancy for a price that no one can beat period

I can even offer you the 2GB/s reserved with a sliding scale commitment per month that you won't pay the full 2GB/s from the bat....but gradually grow
till you fully use it

Just to verify my math is correct.

Would 5 gps be equivalent to .65 Gigabytes of data pushed per second?

Although probably closer to .5 Gigabytes per second when you factor in tcp/ip error correction, overhead etc.?

If anyone could PM me an actual number range of what this might cost it'd be helpful.

As for what I want to use this much bandwidth for, well that's a bit of a secret.

2Gbps would run from $16,000 to $40,000

No offense... don't take a quote from someone who thinks an OC48 is 5GBPS. An OC48 is roughly 2.5 gigabit, full duplex.

If you were to take the bandwidth in a datacenter and not have to pay for transport to a different site you would be looking at anywhere from $10,000 (Cogent) to as high as $30,000 per gigabit. If you really want to talk bandwidth economics and maybe even get some help shopping for it just give me a call on Monday and I'll help you out.

Cheers,

Brad

Your math is incorrect.

1 gigabit constant for 30 days straight would be around 330,000 gigabytes. There are many bandwidth calculators online. You could search for one and change the variables to get the answer to your question more precisely.

A couple follow up questions.

What's the knock against Cogent bandwidth? (since it's cheaper).

Akamai is quoting a price of roughly 50 cents/gig for this much bandwidth, your guess comes in at around roughly 3-9 cents a gig.

Is the Akamai price difference based on bandwidth bursting during peak hours of the day and being "faster" from it's cache servers?

Just trying to figure out how bandwidth can be cheaper from the source from a dedicated line than from a supposedly cheaper edge cache network.

I don't recall Akamai hosting adult content. Am I crazy?

Check with www.cyberwurx.com they are in atlanta and have the best connections.

This is all greek to me. I just try to keep my file sizes small and pay my bill.

The Akamai price is incredibly expensive for that amount of connectivity, no matter how you analyze it. Like I said, call me on Monday I'll let you talk my ear off. There's a big learning curve to this.

OK first,
an oc 48 is 2.488 Gbps, but most would prefer to take this over ethernet (Gig-E). 2 single mode fibers or if you are right in the colo you could take it over copper. Copper will only do maybe 100 feet on gig-e. best to go fiber anyway. if you want it really cheap like cogent it can be like a total of 24000 for both, but if you want real bandwith its more like 22 bucks meg for a total of 44,000. A lot of companies will have a lot of BS to spout on this, but I have avtually done these set ups and run them, and done it 20 plus times for my self and clients. Most of the Hosting companies here have never done this for one guy. Its a lot to pay for actually. Hit me up and let me explain it to you, perhaps get you a 2 giog line burstable on a 10 gig-e pipe.
