for a customer at Stephenson Highway Troy, MI 48083 USA we seek an internet access/service provider, cable/xdsl/... would be ok, fixed ip-address prefered.
I use WOW hereabouts, have sometimes used Comcast elsewhere, and have been known (in one instance) to rip the ATT lines and access box off the side of the building and loop it (nicely tied) over the lowest pole rung....
Unless, of course, you are a budding ISP yourself; in which case you have to use ATT -- or run your own competing fiber.
You can also contact tkns.net or www.fiberlinkinc.com for local fiber builds. they will do it all end-to-end for you. (including managing the pole agreement with dte/consumers). tkns is a corporate relative of us signal, you may be able to get the combination of the two to give you good local access.
Please answer off-list.
Why? You've bothered a hundred thousand network engineers with a local sales query, so it must be really really important to the North American Network Operations!
