In Germany, 1&1 is renting out 100Gbps lines with dedicated fiber (as in, you have an entirely separate circuit) directly to the IX for 7200€/month.

If you're paying 500-700$/month for a 100mbps line, then something seems very wrong.



Without details it's hard to compare. Does that include initial construction, transit, etc? Is that from a data center, or will they run it to a telecom closest in our 1960s office building?

Also, the price for these lines generally doesn't scale linearly: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xF2Yo-3J2EUjLlsXFYE4... (a quote some random person posted).


That's excluding construction (if you rent 2+ years, it's inckuding construction), including transit, and goes to any building in any of the cities where they offer it. Which is about 3 cities right now, including Kiel.
