you have the options of yipes (level3 and genuity), cogent, and uunet. Depending on what you want to spend you can be single homed with say cogent or multihomed with uunet and yipes etc.. just depends on what you want to pay, we also have access to a variety of other carriers inside the colo and any carriers outside of the colo as well with a nominal local loop charge. SO basically you have a need, we can meet it.
affordablecolo.com carrier grade colocation at a affordable price!

I myself have used yipes, and they are very good. Actually, as a matter of fact they're right up there with Internap.

I would say that most of wall street and the banking world use savvis. Yipes is very fast and also internap is very fast. I wouldnt say yipes is slower then internap and the other way around.
Ive used yipes since they first came out, and they are darn fast and I have pulled some great speed. Then again I have used internap and have seen great speeds.
In the end who really cares its bandwidth, and they both get your data quick---------------------

looksmart ain't that huge... but they use above.net as their primary... savvis as their secondary... i remember they screwed eFront outa a few hundred thousand dollars because they couldn't afford to pay (plus some other issues with efront too)...
Americom, Inc.... the long distance telco company? cuz they use broadband solutions america... who uses ELI and TouchAmerica...
lucent uses internap... but they also have feeds from uunet, singnet (in singapore) and embratel (in brazil)... their bell labratories has two feeds... one from uunet, one from savvis...
City of Philadelphia... finally, one where savvis is the primary provider... well, in this case... the only provider... whoop-diddly-do... a city's website... how many visitors u think they get per day to that site? what kinda damage if that site were to be down for an hour?
united bank corp ... hmm... got a url for 'em?

netdude, you really may want to check your facts. Savvis does run about 65% + of the financial systems in the US. They also run like 95% of Reuters' network.

but thats their backend connectivity... not the internet... imagine it to be like a peering facility like PAIX or MAE-WEST... but without the internet component... just data going between two points...
the bandwidth usage is so low, its infeasible (thats a word, right? lol) for the mainstream providers to go for... because the performance/reliability requirements are so stringent for these bandwidth levels... throwing their pricing structures outa whack when compared to the main internet services...
reuter's internet infrastructure is handled by internap... heheLast edited by netdude; 09-13-2002 at 06:01 PM.

netdude, again you may want to check your facts on Savvis as they are pretty much all wrong.

how would they be wrong? savvis' financial network is somewhat independant of the internet side... to over simplify it, they have one hella big VPN for their financial side... maybe this will clarify it for you: http://www.savvis.net/financial/atta...l_brochure.pdf ...
jw, don't worry, i'm getting a reply prepared for you...

Data to/from a yipes network will only be on yipes for a few hops. Verio is terrible. They have limited connections between cities and packets end up having to go to their major exchanges on the west coast, chicago, or the east coast.
Netdude reminds me of Cliff Claven (Cheers) in some of these posts

I'm nto sure any of this even remotely addresses the thread starter's question:
What does everyone think of affordable colo?
How 'bout we start another thread to discuss what networks the financial systems are on, which is better, etc. Let's get this thread back on track.

have one server colocated with AffordableColo which just made its "1 Yr Anniversary" and that IMHO is one of the best business decisions we made!! I dont think you can ever go wrong with Charles & co. very professional and service is great.
