Im looking for a little advice about DSL circuits in New York, specifically at 111 8th Ave. Going to locate a console server there for out-of-band serial management. The router will need connectivity for remote telnet/ssh access from the NOC.
How much bandwidth do you need? Is a dialup modem fast enough? Traditional phone lines often give you a much different set of reliability issues and common-mode failures than Internet connectivity, which is good. I've been very happy with Pushkablue's dialup out-of-band boxes, which give you a serial console and power supply relays. Similarly, if wireless works in the part of the building you're in, and if the building allows you to have equipment that transmits radio signals (some colos don't), that's another option, again, because it's going to have different failures than the equipment you're controlling.
I searched some obvious providers but dont really want to deal with a huge company (Verizon, Qwest, ?) if it can be avoided.
....
Are there smaller/independent companies out there offering this sort of thing? I dont know much about the US DSL market, so any hints are welcome.
If you don't know the market, then there's a whole lot of value in dealing with the two or three dominant players for that city, or the two dozen huge companies for the country, as opposed to the hundreds or thousands of small players. (Admittedly, having dealt with ZA's dominant player in a previous job, I'd rather use anybody else also...) -- ---- Thanks; Bill Note that this isn't my regular email account - It's still experimental so far. And Google probably logs and indexes everything you send it.
