  Actually the person that commented about Above.net in May of 1999 not being less than $1300/month because of new pricing structure is wrong. Unless because of being an old client from early 1997 until late 1998, moved servers for a few reasons at that point and then 9/20/1999 moved back to Above.net, the min. cost was in 9/20/1999 ~$400/month, 12" high x 19" rack, power, and 128k of 95% average bandwidth usage, billed at $1.50/1kbps used over the 95% usage all measured via MRTG doing the averaging (ie: they cut of the top 5% of your bandwidth peaks, and the next highest peak is your 95% usage level.) You may want to directly contact Above.net if you have needs of less than an average peak usage of 1mbps (now remember these peaks are also a 5 min average bandwidth usage.... NOT true bandwidth usage patterns too... alittle confusing.) Great service, great support, and SUPER network infrastructure... I would talk to them if you can, as I really think you can get in for way less than $...

  Actually we jumped ship from above.net, for a number of reasons, but we are now at www.he.net. Super people working there, the Fremont datacenter is 43,000 sq ft. They are privately owned, profitable, (ie: they expand when needed and cash allows not blow billions only to file bankruptcy...cough MFN...) they have smaller plans down to I think a couple of U of rack space + 128k 95% percentile bandwidth usage for $200/month.. but for the best in security and if you have a few servers at least... a 7' locked/private cabinet is $400/month + the more bandwidth you need the cheaper it gets... I think its $200/month for 128k but $500/month for 1 megabit... need more than one 7' cabinet? if you get 2 or more the price drops to $300 each/month... So you could have say 2 x 7' private cabinets + 1mbps of 95% bandwidth for $1600/month. Was very impressed by the staff, the support, the data center, their network, and the pricing. All told we spend more than 5 years at Above.net but could not jus...
