Hey Guys I am trying to approximate the cost of getting an OC3, i need roughly 100Mbps of bandwidth, does anyone have any idea what that costs a month to rent?

thanks,
ameesh
 
$2400/Month for 100Mbps port dedicated so you can use 100Mbps BOTH ways 100% 24/7 if you like. That's at a colo. If you want this in your place of work, bathroom, basement, etc. prepare to spend a LOT more.

Prepare to sacrifice your first born and part of your second...and you have to convert to a different religion.
 
You can get Cognet for pretty cheap, well considering the price of a real oc-3 anyways. There not the most reliable source of bandwidth though, but they do seem to be getting better. At the old datacenter I worked at, they had a couple oc-3's, approx price per month was 9,000 per. The DC I currently work in has 3 oc-192's @ 22,000 per line.

Edit: Those are prices from top of the line providers that guarantee uptime as well, not some cheap-o provider.
