I am in need of a comparative pricing table of 64kb & E1 lines (national and to the USA). Plz send me URLs if you have any.
In Ireland, the national telco (Telecom Eireann, TE) are understandably reluctant to publish their tariff sheet for leased lines. Their rival, Esat, is just as coy; they ask you what TE charge you and, if the business suits them, quote you about 10% below TE. Anyway, here are the rates which TE charges for digital leased lines: Charge 64Kbps 512Kbps 2048Kbps Per local end * 608 2313 3800 Main link fixed ** 316 2530 5691 Main link per km to 30km 117 274 586 Main link per km over 30km 6.3 46 128 Setup charge per end 930 1660 5000 * Payable per local end up to 1km each. Add same figure per km for local end distance in excess of 1km. ** This is payable if the local ends connect to different exchanges. These charges are in Irish pounds. The first four elements are rental charges per year. VAT is applicable at 21%. For trans-Atlantic half-circuits, TE's charges are 83,000 a year for 512Kbps and 220,000 a year for 2Mbps. Ihth. Mike
