I have actually seen contracts that have current pricing over
$200/Mbps -- but the person responsible isn't allowed to 
"negotiate" on transit prices anymore.  :-)

(To be fair, at the time the contract was signed, the price
was only about double market pricing...)

No, I'm not bitter.  Bitter is for much lighter feelings
than I have at the momment...

Oh, to un-hijack the thread:
   I'd start getting some competitive bids.
