<div dir="ltr">This will likely be at colocation but since there are few colocation options around town (US Signal, and IServ, am I missing others?) I was curious what the going rate was for business access, since I figured everyone was likely to have more experience with that.<div>

</div>In general, few bandwidth providers offer symmetrical bandwidth at 100Mbps.<br>
<br>
That was also my 2nd thought, .. that sort of bandwidth would require a<br>
pretty expensive intrastructure - 10K+ UPS, 50KW+ generator, etc.<br>
<br>
Renting a rack at a CoLo facitlity might be a lot simpler and less<br>
costly, .. OR consider a small cluster of VPS machines..<br>
