Real prices from public contracts and published benchmarks, explained by people who build networks. A straight quote when you want one.
What people actually pay
| Dedicated internet | US low | US typical | US high | Bay Area schools, typical |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 Mbps | $333 | $492 | $641 | $235 |

Low and high are the 10th and 90th percentiles. US figures: Lightyear 2026 State of Connectivity (1M+ quotes, 36-month terms, May 2026). Bay Area: median of the most recent public E-Rate contract at each school and library site, FY2022–2026 (details).
Prices from public E-Rate contracts (USAC) and Lightyear's published guides, as of Sept 2026. 100gig's operator sells circuits through Tel-One, which may earn a commission on your quote. That doesn't change these numbers. How we get paid

Business pricing is hidden on purpose
Carriers quote case by case. We publish what similar circuits really cost, so you can tell a fair quote from a padded one.
Run by network builders
The notes on every guide come from building fiber, negotiating with carriers and reading construction quotes, not from a marketing team.
We tell you how we get paid
Quotes are handled by Tel-One, a licensed California carrier our operator is a partner in. The benchmarks don't change based on who sells. Details
