Thanks Graeme. UUNet ok, I will look into them as well. Whatever the solution is we need one which has reasonable bandwidth for multiple companies to share - this is due to the fact we are currently using shared access in a business centre. It is possible for us to have dedicated leased line to ourselves but that is probably overkill for our current traffic needs - given that our main servers are in the US. Do EdNet and UUNet have their own service or is it on a reseller basis in Edinburgh? Our current vendor is a hybrid of different companies which they rent capacity from, as a result they never have a clue as to what's going on. In addition we pay several times what standard ADSL costs for this shared bandwidth and usually get anywhere from 5-22kbps, quite often it is zero! Which really is dreadful for the price.
