I'd love to know where you can get a fiber circuit for $500/m. (And even if you can, then you probably can't compete with whoever's selling you that circuit anyway.) When we started we haggled considerably.. (had to sign a 20 year deal) and managed to get a 2G/10G circuit for $1,500/m. (A 1G circuit would have been $1200/m)

Some places are cheaper than others, looking at this thread especially outside US.

In Poland you can get 1Gbps connection for 200USD/month and 5Gbps for ~600USD/m

These are not fiber circuits, ie dedicated bandwidth, they are shared residential services.

2G/10G? Normally I see it considerably cheaper for download bandwidth vs upload bandwidth, as your provider will just sell/reserve the upload bandwidth for servers, since servers use vastly more upload.

Of course, the rate you gave holds with the $1/mb I was assuming. You oversell bandwidth obviously.

It's probably 2G sustained, 10G burst of some sort.
