[LUNI] Level3 Replacement

[Hassan, Lance]

That would depend on how near the backbone you want to be and what you need
for bandwidth. We use Cogent and it has been sweet but other than handling
DNS there are no services and this is fiber so you need to be in or very
near a building with a drop. Yipes is for all practical purposes backbone. I
have also been getting bugged by a company called Towerstream for WIFImax
but have no experience. In the past we have had DSL through XO but like
everyone else in town DSL service at least for commercial is risky because
no one wants to service, they would rather have you pay for T-1 or a Frac
T-1 which for us the price for the fiber actually worked out better.  


Thank You

Hey Folks,

At work we currently use Level3 as our CoLoc ISP.  I am having loads of
trouble with them from a sales and support stand point.

I am looking for near backbone access in downtown Chicago.

Does anyone have a recommendation, experiences good or bad?

Thanks
Steve
