[brlug-general] Network services at NTG

[Dustin Puryear]

You pay for up to a max (flat rate) and then are billed for overages
based on a 95'th percentile calculation. It can get costly. Your best
bet is to cap at your router if you are willing to never allow for
spikes in traffic, but that still doesn't protect you from incoming
traffic (even if it piles up outside your router).

It's not uncommon at all for a data center to bill like this, but I'd
rather pay a flat rate (even if a little higher) so I have a known cost.

Hi guys-

Does anyone know what Internet providers offer access inside the NTG
data center? We really like NTG, but their bandwidth cost is pretty
high. 

We are open to any telco, ranging from Cox Business to whatever.

Thanks!
