Bloodsong, 1200 is base cost in canadian for an oc3 ( optic cable 3 ) and a minimum data transfer of 300 gigs a month, that is effectively 3 t1 connections. you MUST have 300 gigs of data transfer or you pay more. and it is literally the type of connection an isp has. a co-location deal ( server in someone else's data center ) can be as low as 500 a month, with oc3 connection and 500 gigs of data transfer max. ( unless you are willing to pay 10 a gig over. )
