National 2.5 Gigabit Network, $150,000 per month

Denver-Bandwidth Market announced a record-breaking low price for an OC48 national telecommunications network, $150,000 per month to connect 21 US cities.

The nationwide network is available at OC192 (10 Gigabits per second) or OC48 (2.5 Gigabits per second) speeds to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Herndon, Atlanta, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Modesto, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Tucson, Houston, Dallas, Tulsa, and Kansas City. Multiplexing to OC-48, OC-12, OC-3, and DS-3 is available in the cities in bold.

Howard Holme, President of Bandwidth Market, said, The $150,000 network is fast enough to carry all the traffic of even Fortune 100 companies, and fast enough to carry all the traffic of most of the telecom carriers and Internet Service Providers. For less than $2 million per year, a Television Network, a Cable TV network, an ISP, or a Content Delivery Network can carry traffic that would have cost $200 million per year to carry 3 years ago."

Holme said, Now, for the cost of a few employees, a company or federal agency can run a national network with practically unlimited speed and reliability, can strongly protect privacy, run any practical application or protocol, and feed local Competitive Local Exchange Carriers, or ISPs, bypassing many peering or 'bottleneck problems."

Three months ago, Bandwidth Market announced a comparable network for $300,000 per month, 100% higher, so this announcement shows telecom prices continue to shrink. Internet access prices have also dropped. Last year low prices for high speed circuits on Tier One carriers were about $69 per Megabit per second per month --now Bandwidth Market offers them as low as $39.

Bandwidth Market is the worlds largest Internet market for private lines, Internet access and transit, collocation, dark optical fiber, and long distance minutes. It lists hundreds of thousands of telecommunications services and prices on the web, added 100,000 offers last week, has ten thousand visitors per week, downloads a million web items per month, and runs the biggest telecom website in the world, with hundreds of gigabytes of information.
