So scott, you seem to be in the business of pushing people to co-locate servers at ISP (why, i dont know) so how about you offer up some suggestions on who to co-locate with and pricing along with all the restrictions and fine print they will surely provide. Im all for possibly co-locating a machine with an ISP if the price is right. What I'd want to know is what sort of bandwidth they would provide, are they gonna charge me based on bandwidth or is it unlimited. Somehow I gotta think that unlimited bandwidth is not gonna be cheap. A subnet of 8 IP's and 640Kb runs me $90/month from Qwaste, is an ISP gonna be that competitive for unmetered usage? If the price cant be competitive then your suggestion has no merit.
