Not so good, under 500 KB/sec. The C4D is still hitting around 1 MB/sec to make sure it's not an issue on my end.

The PTPTech did yield the fastest I've seen ever on my broadband connection, steady at 1.54 MB/sec. I'll inquire with them.
If you do some basic TCP/IP tweaks on the boxes you run there (e.g. enabling window_scaling, increasing the windows, etc.)
I'm running Windows Server 2003 / IIS6

I see that PTPTech is in ashburn, VA. Good that it's close to me (I'm in Richmond, VA) but I wonder if that's why I saw 1.54 MB/sec? Any west coasters that can give stats on the PTPTech download speed test?

I did various WGET's from the test downloads here from my server at Hivelocity.net which is on a 100 mbit using Level3 out but BGP in (Cogent is their other provider). From the server in Tampa, FL I actually saw better rates from C4D than PTPTech, again, a location issue most likely as to why I saw better from PTPTech from here in Richmond, VA. So I'll investigate with both C4D and PTPTech as I have e-mails into both already. I did a test download provided from Netriplex, not sure which data center it was coming from, but unimpressive. I'll see if they can give me a test from Atlanta. Here are my tests and results, keep in mind one was a local download test from my own server.

it should be noted that the link I provided is on GNAX's silver network (Cogent / Telia) outbound
you may want to look at the option of their gold network (Savvis, Global Crossing, Telia, PCCW/btn, AIX Peering)
http://www.netdepot.com/speedtest/
I can get 1.89MB/s on their gold speed tests.

Just for the record, I got about 700KB/s both from my LA network and from my home (also LA) cable line on the PTPtech download.

I think I found it: co-location richmond the Level(3) setup. It seems awfully expensive.
I'm amazed at how many colo providers offer 1/2 racks with just 7.5 or 10 AMPS. There is no way in he|| a half rack of servers is going to fit in that power limitation! My setup of servers, tape backup, switches, direct attached storage, all together consumes 15 AMPS so I need 20 AMP circuits, also due to the plug style of my UPS's.

Allowing you to pack every last unit of the cabinet with your equipment and still have power to spare is not the intent. It's certainly possible if your facility allows it, but it's not necessarily adviseable unless you like hot equipment.

You're looking at paying around $600 - 700 for a 20A/110V cabinet there. They don't have half cabinets. Get with a Level(3) reseller.

I'd at least put that on a page instead of a page not found, i.e. "I'm sorry but we are booked solid on our colocation facility and not currently taking orders..."
Just my $.02.
