Foxrenderfarm.com is indeed very good, very helpful via skype chat and quite inexpensive. You need to upload your project yourself and I think you can upload caches for sims as well - haven't tried this. Good thing about the self administered upload is if you make a mistake you just re-upload the scene, and not the whole sherbang again.
Rebusfarm.net is also good. You can chat them too. They have a submitter that works from within SI. and collects all your images and uploads them for you. Very sleek. They cost the same as foxrenderfarm, if you can wait a while for your frames (or find the holes where nobody else is rendering) otherwise it's double up, but then your frames start immediately and auto-download to your HD on completion. You should try both to see what suits you. They both have free intro deals. Also they both have cost calculators that work. You do need to make sure they're using the same version of SI as you. Also I don't know how they deal with passes so check that out. Consider the size of your files. EXR files take up more space and take longer to download (obviously) Good luck!
