(I think it may be a little off topic, but the internet connection is usually part of network operations . . . ) There are some carrier grade fixed-point-wireless providers around that can offer really low latency (depending on distance). I'd offer you a solution, but we're in Illinois. There might be a pretty heavy front-end expense (usually around $500-$1000) but it is usually worth it. For the service you get.

This may be the wrong forum to ask this, and if so I apologize, please just point me in the right direction! I'm getting somewhat frustrated with the instability and high latency of residential cable and DSL offerings, but I love the T1 or greater bandwidth they offer. I'd like reasonable bandwidth with low latency without spending hundreds of dollars per month! Anybody know a good source for near-T1 low-latency bandwidth at around $100/month? I'm in the northern VA area btw. -- Jeff Wheeler Postmaster, Network Admin US Institute of Peace
