You still might want to look into co-locating with a LOCAL ISP. This is
what I currently do. I pay less than i would to have ANY sort of
fractional line run to my location, and i get the benefit of having an
ethernet connection to their switch.
I currently have a 10x10' office with 4 servers in it. 24 hour access to
the building. It's a pretty sweat deal. :)
BTW: I'm co-located with a small local ISP, not one of the big backbone
providers. It's not multiple redundant T3's or anyhting, but their multiple
T1 connections is much faster than anything i could afford on my own.
Hope this helps,
