We always start making inquiries around that time to see if we can get better pricing. Comcast fiber is not that bad to work with. They will do BGP feeds and the like. Have you contacted Zayo to see if they are doing anything in your area? They have some stimulus money and have some projects on the books in Indiana. Another thing to consider is where your AT&T circuit is homed out of. If it is at a carrier hotel you could simply use them for transport until you can get another physical connection. This would allow you to become multi-homed and get your AS# and work toward IP space. I am sure this would keep you busy re-numbering. Maybe in the meantime a circuit opportunity would open up.

We currently have AT&T Fiber and IPs. We want to look at redundancy in terms of becoming a BGP peer, and purchasing our own IP addresses. The ONLY other provider in our area is Comcast. Has anyone worked with them to do any BGP peering? What really rocked my boat was that I am seeing new ISPs signing up with AT&T Opt-E-Man with 100 MB circuits for $2600/mo. That is less than what I am paying for my 50 MB circuit. I called my sales rep and they stated that I could get a 100 MB circuit for $4200/mo and because I am under contract for another year, there is nothing they can do for price...so pretty much they are saying to me that they want new customers, and anyone under contract they can gouge as long as I am under contract... When can we get rid of these monopolies?!?!?
