I haven't had any complaints with business internet service through Veracity, but if you're looking for colocation with good security and biometric access, here are a couple of other ideas that might work: - XMission has a very nice colocation facility and is also a UTOPIA provider. They might be able to work out a good UTOPIA connection. - MStar is also a UTOPIA provider and hosts equipment at ViaWest. That might also work to get a good UTOPIA connection. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
