I work in Long Lake (just west of wayzata) so the plymouth location of Onvoy was favorable, as opposed to downtown st. paul (where visi is right?) I went to check out their data center, it seemed pretty ok. The only other datacenter/colo places i had been in were Exodus/Cable and Wireless in Boston (which was huge, held places like excite which was very entertaining to gawk at all the hardware). Onvoy is obviously much smaller but seemed ok. In the end, the decision was made pretty easy (for my boss at least) when we looked at the financials of each company. Onvoy had been around a while (at least as the 13 other local telco's that they existed as) and had money in the bank where as VISI had not been around all that long and hard a lot of debt to their name. Onvoy was clearly the more stable company when looking at it financially. I was pretty sure i didnt want to have switch data centers if one went under. duncan _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
