Multiple providers pretty much means a carrier neutral colo. In the DC 
area, your big 3 are:

Equinix
PAIX
Switch and Data

For price, quality, and if your goal is primarily to purchase transit, I 
would recommend Equinix, located in Ashburn VA.

That said, this isn't the appropriate list for that kind of question. 
ISP-Bandwidth or ISP-Colo might be more appropriate.
