I think it is BS. Being in Alameda I would think you should have a plethora of clueful upstream alternatives. Check http://thelist.iworld.com/areacode/510.html and just go down the list searching for a provider who meets your needs. In the US most providers will allocate you address blocks based on need, and will then route those for you as part of the standard bandwidth charge. Charging for routing may be a reality some day, but at this point, in the US at least, it is rare. And help me out here with the math. A /19 is 32 "class Cs", right? 32 * $100 = $3200. So they charge more for aggregation? That is *total* BS. -BD (not BS :) On Tue, 8 Oct 1996, Ulf Zimmermann wrote: > Regardless of the speed to my uplink provider, they want to charge > $100/month per class C network.
