We used a cache server from Cobalt Networks.

Personally I don't think caching is a viable solution
on the mid to small level ISP because the community is not large
enough to have a decent cache. I spoke to Cidera.com, they use a global
community of 8.5 million customers to create their cache.=20
This is what we are going to move to.

I manage a medium size ISP (about 9000 users) and we are looking at =
getting a caching device. I am looking for what kind of experiences =
other have had with them.

Does it speed up the pages for the end customer?
Does it cut down on T1 usage?
