guess my memory is failing me. I
remember we had originally set up service with Popp Telecom, but they
completely dropped the ball, so we went back to Qwest and said make us an
offer. At the time I remember the deal was we got 1 IP address, to get 5 was
a one time charge that was very small, nothing like $14.95/month (thinking
back, this was around $30/year). Problem is many companies change the
numbers around somewhat to mask actual costs. Last time I dealt with
Eschelon for a client, the client was paying $5/month for 5 IPs, but I did
figure out they were adding costs to the T1. Funny how these services just
go up in price over the years.<br> </div></font>

<div style="font-family: monospace,courier new,courier;">
all things considered, $15/month for a /29 is a pretty reasonable<br>
price. most boutique ISPs charge on the order of $15-20/month if
they<br>
even offer the service at all.<br>
<br>
the days of dirt cheap address space are long gone and with good reason.<br>
<br>
i'd given up on having blocks of address space routed to home a long<br>
time ago. but digging up a receipt from a few years ago, at visi i<br>
was paying $30/month for a /28.<br>
