We have a commercial RR account and I believe we pay ~$90 /month with 1 static IP. This is for their basic buisness account @ $80 and $10 extra for the static IP. We also have a DSL account with Lava.net for our e-mail server and other servers and such. The DSL line only nets us 1.544mb/384kb which is slow compared to RR and is approximately the same price providing we don't go over our alloted bandwith... We needed the extra speed that RR provided as well as the uncapped bandwith because we download large files from MHPCC daily sometimes as much as 2gigs/day. With RR we have been able to achieve download speeds 7 to 8 mb/sec (close to the theoretical limits of the modem itself). 300 meg files now take minutes compared to the hours we used to wait for DSL. So as far as speed is concerned RR is definately the winner.
As far as reliability goes DSL is the winner there... We have only lost our connection maybe 4 times last year. compared to 2-3 times /month with RR. This is why we keep our servers on DSL. ~MK
