Even the metro-E, while appear reasonably priced for companies, one have to remember it is nothing else but access to the "loop". One still needs to buy an internet access from the metro-E network and that is the expensive part. (2nd connection point + the Internet access) Also, for one conenction speed, there are at least 2 prices. If you need QoS, the higher one apply. I would vote for HongKong pricing. 1Gb connection for $26/mo. Thumbs up for Lafayette for doing something right. I bet It was not easy to fight the incumbents on and off the court for 4 years.

Even the metro-E, while appear reasonably priced for companies, one have to remember it is nothing else but access to the "loop". One still needs to buy an internet access from the metro-E network and that is the expensive part. (2nd connection point + the Internet access) Also, for one conenction speed, there are at least 2 prices. If you need QoS, the higher one apply. I would vote for HongKong pricing. 1Gb connection for $26/mo. Thumbs up for Lafayette for doing something right. I bet It was not easy to fight the incumbents on and off the court for 4 years.
