Cassidy, I think that will be the tipping point. If I can truly get a pair of dark fibers to a data center, I think that would justify the 9 mile build out. If I can only get a wave to the data center, then I'll have to think about it a bit more. -- Best regards, Mark

Re: [AFMUG] Upstream Bandwidth Question

All depends on costs. We priced out 2x10G vs 1x100G between two datacenters, and with the XC charges on both sides of the pipe for 2x10G, the 1x100G came in cheaper. If you did “B”, you could light your own 100G for the cost of a 9 mile run + dark fiber lease. > On Aug 26, 2020, at 12:32 PM
