Hi,
Im looking for a little advice about DSL circuits in New York, specifically at 111 8th Ave. Going to locate a console server there for out-of-band serial management. The router will need connectivity for remote telnet/ssh access from the NOC.
Looking for a low speed (and low cost) DSL line with a fixed IP. I searched some obvious providers but dont really want to deal with a huge company (Verizon, Qwest, ?) if it can be avoided. Also $80-100+ seems a lot for something that will be used very rarely,
but maybe those prices are normal.
Are there smaller/independent companies out there offering this sort of thing? I dont know much about the US DSL market, so any hints are welcome.
Speakeasy/Covad/Megapath and Panix offer DSL. Speakeasy is mostly pleasant to deal with, but I've never used Panix. mc
