Rather than thousands of ISPs that google might find, that might not be especially FreeBSD based, a smaller list is here: http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/isp.html One friend of mine np@bsn.com cc'd is at a small so very flexible pretty much entirely FreeBSD based ISP. Another friend mwe@consol.de also cc'd is at another ISP, not sure what percentage FreeBSD, but more bandwidth if you've heavier demand. I guess all ISPs will ask you similar questions re. what you need in way of steady & max traffic load, human support, max % outage per month, 2nd site offset geographic mirroring ?, backup + slave, or cluster, what extras like php mysql whatever else, inc which apache Rev. & a hint of just roughly what ballpark `cheap' falls in, ie roughly how many zeros in what currency per month you'r hoping to pay ?
