Re: Getting DSL at your datacenter for OOB

We've been trying to get DSL (instead of dial-up via a POTS line) at our datacenters for out-of-band access.
We tried here (Intergate.Seattle in Tukwila) and came up empty also, fell back on POTS.
Have you thought about just getting IP from other providers in the building?I thought it would be cool to start up a little co-op in our building of copper cross-connects between various providers STRICTLY for OOB network access. No sales involved, no revenue, strictly butt-saving OOB access. I was actually getting traction until one ... for lack of a better term "party pooper"... put the kibosh on the whole thing and ripped all the wiring out before we had finished.
Several of us thought it was a fine idea. I imagine it *could* work in certain buildings/environments with more enlightened facilities and technical people around.
(just sharing the thought out there in case anyone decides to run with it) --chuck
