Time warner is cool, they don't block ports, and you can get business level service from them too. just costs a lot more. I can get you a T-1 to your house for about 400 bucks, but thats is only 1.5 up and down (real world it'll actually do 2.1 Mbps) but the point is your line won't be that fast, your electricity is not backed up, your cooling system in the house will be inadequate.....etc. I turn on my servers and the whole place heats up. ugh, icq me, ask for or send me a server. every server gets a power connection thats on dual grids, every server gets a remote power rebooter - so you can reboot the power from anywhere, every server gets a network where you don't just have 2 connections to the internet, you get 17. Dude, come into the cold, of the colo. its so comfy for servers to be here. They love it, they get fed and cooled and exercised. Its a servers favorite place to be. lol, contact me anytime and i can tell you all about BGP.
