Re: providers? Check with Sho-Me Technologies first (»www.shometech.com). They provide bandwidth to many government/school/carrier entities around you and have a POP in Richland (»www.shometech.com/about/network-map/). They'll probably be the cheapest if they have fiber near you and can provide a full circuit or just transport. I've been using ShoMe since 2005 and have only had 1 outage before our metro loop was redundant (thanks to a backhoe operator). They have quoted me as little as 10mbit up to GigE and they are pretty reasonable.
LightCore (Centurylink) for wholesale if you want to stick with them. »www.lightcore.net then Wholesale under the Large Business tab.
Let us know what you find out! |

Richland, MO | So working with shometech. I'm either going to use them for a provide or layer2 transport. If I use them for the transport what is a good company to use for internet service? Preferably one that doesn't cost a small fortune. |

kudos:1 | We had Charter rewrite the contract because they did not allow reselling their connection in their standard contract. The rep(actual Charter employee) said it was OK that it was just a formality, we told her "if it's not in writing, it's not happening"--we had the revised version the next day. |

It's going to depend how much bandwidth you're looking for really. If it is just transport you want then I'd see what your options are to an interconnect (likely KC, STL, or Springfield). From there you can check with them for bandwidth costs. If you want to make it easy however ask ShoMe what they'll give you to the public internet & who they peer with. The advantage there is that you can rely on their redundant network and have one point of contact in case of trouble. |
