Lots of places claim to be a Tier1, but they end up being a shared node in a
big data center or one of hundreds of hosts all sharing the same 45MB T3
line. Test the links to their sites from several different sites over a
period of time to look at performance. I have seen hosts with a single
1.54Mb T1 beat the pants off a supposed Tier1 DS3 155Mb ATM host. They had
better connectivity upstream and fewer people sharing the connection.
I don't claim to be a Tier1, but we run a multi-point T3 out of our center
and I usually can beat most of the Tier1 in ping times and I charge $199 a
month for a 1U rack with no setup fee. Whatever you do don't sign a long
term contract, try out your host for a couple of months and make sure it is
easy to get back your equipment if it doesn't work out. Finally, check
references
Good Luck,
- Steve

Subject: Tier 1 ISP's in Los Angeles
Hi all,
I'm looking for a Tier 1 ISP located in Los Angeles to host a couple of
websites.
Any suggestions?
Scott
