I'd would like to know how much he is paying for that T1.

Do you have any idea how much a T1 costs? Big dollars!

If he's paying less than $500 a month, I would like to know what company he's using.


<< 1mb up and 6mb down DSL service for ALOT less... I got this service from my client from pacbell, and it costs them $169 a month. >>


Uhhh, I need that. Was that a special deal or is that their going rate? How the HELL is it so fast?

na bro... it's no deal... that's pacbell's standard price... actually wait.. they might have a deal... you pay an extra $20 a month and get a free computer.

you might wanna check sprint's ion services as well... they have a better deal... $149 for 1up and 8 down!!! plus all this free LD stuff... hmmm... I think i'm gonna look into sprint's services...

Wow, I wish I would have known that before I got locked into this 1 year contract with Verizon.

I guess I should have shopped around more.

Edit: I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I can't get Pacbell or Sprint where I live. I just checked both web sites.

Maybe I could send Verizon a link and show them that their competitors are offering this kind of deal.

only $30? T1's usually run 700-1500 a month... are you sure he's going to be getting a T1... not DSL and telling you it's a T1 so that you can split the $30 a month cost? I'd investigate a little more... this seems like one of those too good to be true deals.

WOW!

T1 for 700-1500 per month. Man, you need to shop around. In the lousivlle area they are 300-400/month.

Only $30 a month. I'm helping him out with some other stuff. Yes, I'm sure it's a T1. He's paying about $1300 a month, well his company is paying for it... It's not coming out of his pocket.
