ISP

2 posts by 2 people · 30 Dec 1997 - 02 Jan 1998

Im looking for some advice on getting a new ISP. Ive had it with the allocated 1MB of total space. Im paying $2.00 per mb for space over 1MB. Hardly enough space for webpages. I found a local ISP that LOOKS good on paper.. ($15.95 per month unlimited access, recognizes both 56K standards, offers ISDN, 5MB of space, etc).. however How do I determine a good ISP in regards to NROS. I hope to get on NROS in January but I want to make sure my ISP is up to the task. Does anyone know of some questions I can ask or inquire about in an attempt to select the correct ISP ??? The only downside to all this is the changing of email address and homepage address *yuck* Thanks Scott B. Husted [link lost in import: /~sbhusted]

Ask them, how they are connected to the backbone (internet). You should get answers something like "so and so many T1 lines and so and so many T3 lines". Maybe even a T4 :). If they do have a T4, GET IT! If they are connected with only on T1, I wouldn't go for it. You get a high ping = lag time. l8r, Dave. -- David Kadlcak http://pr.erau.edu/~kadlcak ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Papyrus Racing Organization http://pr.erau.edu/~kadlcak/racing/pro Laurin & Klement Racing http://pr.erau.edu/~kadlcak/racing/lkr.html IndyCar Racing II page http://pr.erau.edu/~kadlcak/racing/icr2.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Laurin & Klement Racing: PRO95 Teams Champion!!!
