As the person running the machines for the founders of Concentric Network Corporation (NASDAQ: CNCX), they do run a DS-3 45Mbps backbone and uses MCI for transit. They recently acquired InterNex. If you are looking at DSL, then Epoch may be a better choice for you since this is a first tier backbone provider. For line costs, check out http://www.covad.com and http://ww.northpointcom.com for the cost of the DSL circuit to you. Epoch charges $27 a month to lease the equipment or no charge if you sign up for a Three year contract. The Internet access is $35 a month per Static IP address for any speed from 144k-1.1Mbps Symetrical and 1.54Mbps/384kBps Asymmetrical. Epoch Internet's webpage is at http://www.eni.net Cheers, Vince - vince@MCESTATE.COM - vince@GAIANET.NET ________ __ ____ Unix Networking Operations - FreeBSD-Real Unix for Free / / / / | / |[__ ] GaiaNet Corporation - M & C Estate / / / / | / | __] ] Beverly Hills, California USA 90210 / / / / / |/ / | __] ] HongKong Stars/Gravis UltraSound Mailing Lists Admin /_/_/_/_/|___/|_|[____] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
