I think all pricing is under NDA for the direct connectivity... we have i=
t, and I know it is under NDA for us...
Comcast is in the becoming a tier1 game in a big way so avoiding people who=
don't already peer with the is probably a plus if you want great connectiv=
ity to them. The AS paths I would avoid are _3356_7922_ (usually fine, b=
ut subject to the fight de jour between level3 and Comcast) and anything on=
_6453_7911_ (subject to being saturated all the time). Last I checked AS=
2914 and a few others still only see Comcast via 6453 which made that sub-o=
ptimal.
I can send you a AS7922 sales contact if you need it, just hit me up off li=
st... they also have a good list of info on peeringdb for people to contac=
t.

List,
Does anyone have sample pricing for Comcast's Paid Peering (http://www.comc=
ast.com/dedicatedinternet/) service they'd be able to share?
Also, are there any transit ISPs to avoid when reaching Comcast? I remembe=
r discussion last winter about Tata being congested, and would like to unde=
rstand how common these issues are. I'm preparing to launch a large video =
broadcast for the state, so any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Oscar Caraig
