Hi folks, I'm moving to the Boston/Cambridge area from London in just over a month. I've been to BLU meets before but hope I'll make a few more now that I'm going to be in the country :-) Anyway. In preparation for my move, I'm trying to find a clueful [A]DSL provider in the area[0]. What I am looking for is: * 1-5 static IPs routed to my location. * Reverse DNS for those address(es). * No blocked ports, transfer limits. I don't actually want to run any servers particularly, I just want to have offsite access and connect myself into a couple of VPNs I've got in the US/UK and I'm having a tough time finding good local ISPs that can meet the job. Hopefully, several of you will send me some good recommendations from your experience and perhaps a link to local provider listings :-) While I'm mailing, I'm also curious about local colo outfits. I'm not looking at the moment, but I can only find a couple of small companies (clueful colo, folks like that) in Boston/Cambridge. It pretty much looks like you end up going to NYC if you want East Coast colo - again, I'm interested to hear about small colo operations run by communities/small co-ops very much like the ones I work with in the UK. By that I mean typically unadvertised services that are made available to people "with clue" on a low cost basis via a couple of racks on the understanding that support doesn't come with the deal. Cheers! Jon. [0] I explicitly don't want cable service because I'm looking for the smaller more clueful type of operation rather than $bigcorp. I'll deal with less bandwidth if it's run by competent people :-)
