IP transit is pretty cheap and is expected to continue to fall in the future.
For example here: http://henet.p2knowledgebase.com/view/short_post/WnL8B
You are looking at 1Gbps-on-GigE of $380/mo.
You can run that 24/7 (sometimes they bill you at 95th percentile) but this looks like it is flat rate.
So all the data you can transfer at a 1Gbps pipe.
Jesus, I can get that in Sweden for $100/mo. I've heard of the higher rates in the US, but I didn't expect the difference to be that much.
That seems really cheap. Thanks man!
