Re: [TCLUG:18677] Upstream DSL

["Thomas T. Veldhouse" <veldy@veldy.net>]

VISI.com can do this for you also - and for similar prices to Real-Time.  I
don't know what technical selling points Real-Time has, but I can tell you
VISI.com has more bandwidth and redundant links than most anybody else in
town.  They are Solaris based - which I will take over Linux any day in
enterprise until Linux gets a reliable filesystem (i.e. ReiserFS).  I will
leave it to your imagination as to why you want the servers between you and
the net to have a reliable filesystem.  Oh - VISI has an excellent newsfeed.
I heard somewhere that Real-Time is using their newsfeed also.  TKTRS - this
is not a slam on Real-Time - I just think VISI.com is the best ISP in town
(for a while anyway) and promote them when the opportunity arises.
