I'm looking for a ISP etc that can help me with a fast up link so I can send data (5GB) to San Diego - California one time a week for the next year
I worked it out if would take me 60 - 70 hours to send it on my ihug bliink Shipping the data across town to the colo box on a DVD-R might be a lot cheaper and easier than buying the equivalent local loop.
Some of the central-city cyber cafes have a reasonable amount of bandwidth and might have outgoing to spare, You could try them. Perhaps just shipping the data in DVD disks directly to the California might work out cheaper than trying to use the Internet. The funny thing is I was looking at something recently that would have been perfect for you, but the numbers just didn't work. These whole thing really depends on your budget, if it's $50 per month then you have to find hacks. If it's $200 a month there are options and $2000/month it's pretty easy. Perhaps you could give us a ballpark figure. -- Simon J. Lyall. | Very Busy | Mail: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT.
