Indeed, these 3 also ended up on my shortlist after much research. Each has areas they are weaker in than their competitors but they are all worthy.
If you're connected to Level 3 in any capacity, they have a reseller agreement with Prolexic and can offer REALLY aggressive pricing. I really liked their offering. If anyone is interested, I did pretty exhaustive research into the Service Provider marketplace last summer (before Verisign came out with their VIDN). I've got some slides which outline the costs, mitigation capacity, etc. of many different providers. The provider option isn't always the cheapest when compared to DIY factored in over a 3-5 year lifespan. Stefan Fouant, CISSP, JNCIE-M/T www.shortestpathfirst.net GPG Key ID: 0xB5E3803D
