Were looking at adding an additional provider to our backbone, and guess what I was left with the daunting task of choosing :(
I have narrowed it down to cable and wireless or Internap.
Both are 2 very different providers, both are supposed to be awesome. Internap has a interesting patented routing technology and cable and wireless is single homed, but has a very positive financial history. So I cant make up my mind.

If anyone has direct experience with either of these providers IE is a actual direct customer of them, or has extensive knowledge I would appreciate any input.

I'm currently on Internap, and I would probley not pick anything else. (Although I have a server that's on just Qwest and it's almost as good as Internap but not there yet!)

Are you going to get Internap in Equinix?

I have cage space at Equinix, 300ft away from their backbone.

It's pretty damn good. I won't be switching for awhile.

My suggestion is Both companies

Add both.

Internap has solid technology, newer company

Cable and Wireless has large global backbone, top 3 possibly the larges after the exodus deal and is has a market cap of 9 billion dollars.

I like both
