Cogent - 100 mbit fiber - $1,000 p.m ($3,000 if you are ISP / reseller) 2. Level 3 - 100 mbit fiber - $4,500 p.m. Figures in USD, requires equipment costs and installation. Those prices were 2007. I know some guys who bought 1Gbit of Cogent goodness for $10,000. They're some university faculty guys. Similar packages ARE AVAILABLE in Malaysia, but you gotta pay license to the government, and possibly transport costs from your house to Singapore! After that, its roughly US$10,000 for a pure 1gbit connection. Just like to make a note for what you can expect to pay for 100 mbit / sec dedicated, internet access to your location (in the USA)
