[GRLUG] GR bandwidth pricing?

[Joseph VanDerStelt]

I use colostore.com. It is located out of South Bend, Indiana. While it 
is not right in your back yard it is only 2 hours away (I live in 
Muskegon and can go directly south). I have had little to no problem 
with them. There was a sketchy month while they were switching to a new 
building, but when you are moving physical servers from one building to 
another 10 blocks away and only see an hour of downtime one cannot 
complain I suppose. =) Oh, and colo cost is only 69.95 per month for 
100Mbit up/down. Seems to offer everything you are asking for, so go 
take a look.

Factor in the lack of hardware maintenance and ease of scalability and VPS is hard to beat - providing you can guarantee the same performance levels (if needed).
