I am looking for sugestions as to which providers people recommend to setup a multihomed network with.(BGP4) I am looking for 2 providers to pair together.

Thanks

I think some really nice ones are UUNet, AT&T & Sprint. I will be interested to hear what others think :)

Genuity is coming along really nice.

According to a new report released by In-Stat the top three backbones at the end of 2000 were:

1. WorldCom (UUNET+MCI) -- 44% Market Share
2. Genuity (old BBN) -- 12.5% Market Share
3. Sprint -- 9.4% Market Share

My guess is that AT&T and either Cable and Wireless or Qwest round out the top 5 (I didn't want to pay $1900 for the full report :D).

INT Media Research conducted a similar study in July of 2001, and came out with:

1. WorldCom (UUNET+MCI) -- 25% Market Share
2. Sprint -- 19% Market Share
3. Qwest -- 9% Market Share

Again, they don't explicitly list them, but I imagine the top 5 are rounded out by AT&T and Cable & Wireless or Genuity.

Both reports found that the top 10 backbones control more than 90% of the market.

Ok thanks for the feedback :)
