Web Hosts...have you ever used Verio for one of your bandwidth providers? If so what do you think of them, uptime, customer service, etc.?

Any comments will help. Thank you.

Many webhosts who use dedicated server companies, might use some verio bandwidth as the parent company uses verio for one of its carriers, but i believe verio is a expensive option :eek:

Not anymore, Verio is willing to knock the price down fairly low if you purchase bandiwdth in high volumes (ie: 100mbps+)

but i believe verio is a expensive option Very is actually pretty cheap. We got a quote of $145.00/Mbps on a frac T3. They are not too bad either :)

Although we have an NDA on price ...... those prices you guys are being quoted are WAY TOO HIGH!!!!!

Even on a OC-3 you wshould be able to do MUCH better.

We use Verio, and have been using them since January, we switched to them from Global Crossing, they have only been down once and that was for a scheduled Router upgrade. They are extremely dependable, so paying the extra money has been well worth it for us. The actually call us if they see any downtime from our end, which was a huge surprise to us.

So basically in a nut shell we think their prices are great for the service you get.
