Due to my normal ihug bliink only being 128k up 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 Thanks
It's not possible on UBS. Either get a Full-speed ADSL plan, or approach the ISPs (off-list) which offer wireless, cable, fibre etc. Considering you're wanting 20gb-25gb/month on outgoing alone, you may want to re-think the financial feasability of what you're doing. bigalownz wrote:

You may find it most cost-effective to eliminate the local-loop altogether, and find someone local who can colo a server for you (or someone local who has such a server in colo, and will come to some arrangement to let you use it). 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. Joe

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.

As the saying goes, the latency sucks but you can't beat the bandwidth of a plane packed with hard drives. If the data isn't time-critical (ie: it can arrive a week after it's generated), you can post a DVD to the US for about $7 with airmail. Express would cost $55, but that's a couple of days and is door-to-door couriered. -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force. Get a bigger hammer."

Heh. 5 Gb in a week.. easily done on dial-up.... even if you used two lines to get it there faster - it's probably faster and cheaper than airmail. It does say "fast uplink" in the subject though. -Jo 20 Gig/mo. dial-up dude.
