We probably get Qwest transit cheaper than you, and yes, it is the
cheapest in the industry. Not too bad considering Qwest is definitely
in the top ten largest Tier 1 providers, and probably even the 3rd or
4th largest transit-AS networks according to a recent CAIDA study:
http://www.caida.org/analysis/topology/rank_as/
dude, the word `transit' isn't even on that page,
don't blame transit rankings on caida.
that page is a ranking of outdegree based
on massive IP-level topology data from
about two weeks of caida (active)
probed IP topology monitoring
you'd have to pay us a lot more to
make up numbers about _transit_;
yeesh it's hard enough making up numbers
about topology, routing, and workload.
