It's not easy for a provider to quote you a flat price for something that could range from 1U w/ 1GB/month bandwidth capped at 100mbits/s to An entire cage with generator backup an ATM endpoint and 3GB/month from a colocated transit provider that can handle up to 500mbits/s peak traffic and custom firewall and VPN services plus monitoring and support. There are places that offer packages at a flat rate, but usually that's for VPS or VirtualHosting web service. -- http://Zoneverte.org -- information explained Do you know what your IT infrastructure does? _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
