Another told Nick Cameo that if he can afford a 10G link, he can afford Juniper. You could not be more wrong. The 10G uplink goes for $0 in initial fee and less than $4k / month with unlimited traffic. The Juniper gear is $100k up front for two routers able to handle the 10G links. What I get from you guys is that in your opinion it is not possible to set up a small ISP without spending a ton on Juniper or Cisco. I am not buying that.
Small ISPs don't need 10gb transit connections. Even if you did want cisco gear capable of handling 10gb transit, it can be done on the secondary market for a fraction of that $100k figure.
