Av8 can set you up with T1 in Boston, and bonded ISDN to 384k in
providence.
In boston proper and cambridge, a full T1 is $1200, and 384K isdn is $240
(you pay the ISDN local loop) Install is regularly $1000, but for bblisa
members $750 (bblisa discount) for T1, and $250 ($100 for bblisa members)
on the ISDN.
Av8 is focused on Business Internet Service, and has critical services
spread around multiple sites with multiple uplinks (also not all on one
site) for high availability and low latency. Loss of a single site may
affect customers on that site, but is not a critical loss of service for
all customers. This is important if the internet is not just an
entertainment service for you.
