This is what I'd do, contact your favorite ISP in your area that offers business
solutions and discuss what you need with them. Answer yourself the following things:
1) Are we going to do any web hosting ourselves, or do we just want to surf the net?
More upstream bandwidth will be more expensive
2) How fast does our connection need to be (dsl vs. T1, and exact bandwidth applies
here).
3) How reliable does our connection need to be (Leased T1 lines are the most reliable,
Frame Relay and DSL solutions are further behind, but price again is an issue)
4) How many people will be accessing simultaneously (amount of bandwidth needed here)
With this information, I could craft you a decent Internet solution anyways.
