70k? even tho i'm not TMNet, but that is too cheap! for any cisco with optical capabilities, which can do deep packet filtering, and with manageable policies...ermmmm...and they are not using only one! the amount = at least not less than 5.

if the thread starter happened to call the CEO's staff again, ask him...how much does TMNet earn from Streamyx vs the operating cost? My bet, streamyx maybe big in revenue, but not really making TMNet significantly richer!

Yeah, TELEKOM's revenue is big, but bear in mind, they are the parent company, which have lot more costs to cover! TMNet is just one of it's subsidary.

If anyone here think it's cheap to have international links, i would share some info, an ISP internet g/way (Core Router/Switch) would cost you coupleofmillions per site. That is only on the box, excluding the rent from cable providers + other expenditures.

The point is, it's easier to tell n say, rather than to do and 'buy' . some may disagree with me..but WTH, i hates to see a thread easily drifted far from reality ...

your statements on IRAN leader sounds too harsh and misplaced, and moderator, u guys here?

It's your action that is too harsh, not the truth.

aiyoh, world is nvr enough hmm?
try to appreciate, and you'll be more relaxed.

ppl don't just realised, they overuse the opportunity(without knowing it). Plus, TMNet wrongly forecast the network expansion, and now, we are stranded with capacity issues...ermm, who to blame? of course the ISP, but please, those sarcastics comments..it will nvr help!

I'm a bt'ers myself, so i know how does it feel to be throttled.

yeahyeah, one 'defensive' word, and here i am called as a spy??? defender?? y dun we have open discussion?

@almaty, i'm not defending nijad here...but do u wanna see this thread going off track, being threaded by that sort of replies? ranting here n there.

Go'ment's ardy gave out 100+ ASP licenses...but these small companies don't have big capitals to run the business...

mind to share, which broadband ?
