For what it's worth I'll make this comment... 

Telcove (before they became Level 3) had some of the best bandwidth and 
customer support I've seen from a "major" provider in a long, long time. I 
worked with them up until about a year ago when I left my previous employer and 
for two years I never had a single issue, no outages, no problems. I had two 
feeds off of the local oc loop, worked directly with engineers to get swip'd IP 
space and BGP routing (with some nice communities) running. The Telcove NOC 
would even call me and alert me (no matter what time) if something even had the 
potential of causing an interruption for me.

Just my $0.02....

It's possible to get FTTB from Telcove or Cox, FWIW.  Also Broadband IP 
  is out there.

bandwidth - the business bandwidth is a lot less than residential customers 
think they get.
