Actually, I didn't notice that support was required. I was basing my cost comparisons on Rackspaces's "Raw Infrastructure" pricing — the fact you are required to purchase support at additional cost makes their pricing even less competitive.

They have a more detailed pricing page, with bandwidth charges listed near the bottom, here: http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/servers/

As parent clearly stated, there is no raw infrastructure pricing; all pricing includes support already.

Perhaps you should pay a visit to the link parent posted, so you would understand what I was talking about.

http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/servers/onmetal/

Where they present their pricing in the format of a "Raw Infrastructure" price plus your choice of 2 different levels of support. So, there is raw infrastructure pricing — if you'd visited the page before posting, you'd have known that's where I got the nomenclature in the first place — but you must also purchase some form of support (where the pricing varies for different support levels).
