Broadband providers in downtown Chicago
Our company is in a building at 200 w. Monroe and we have difficulty finding an internet service provider that could at least provide 1Mbps+ Upload bandwidth that is not Cogent Communications. Is it really this difficult finding a decent internet service provider in downtown Chicago?

No, it isn't. Unless your building management has an exclusive deal with Cogent. We have our choice of basically every national Tier-1 and all the larger regional players around the corner on Monroe.
When you say "broadband", are you trying to source a residential provider in downtown? I could see that being a challenge.... Take a look around for a metro-eth based Internet pipes, I'm sure they are plenty in that area. TWTC might be one to check out if you're against Cogent [Level3]. David.
