We are looking at getting more bandwidth from a few providers but just not sure who else to get.. :(

We have cogent, level(3) and epik right now. We plan to add internap in the next few months but not sure who else would be good. Any ideas??
 
You should specify your location. People might be able to advise you, but it is contingent on location.

In my opinion, order of preference would be

L3, MCI, ATT, GBLX, Abovenet, Sprint.
 
Good idea crnc.. :) Orlando FL is where our main DC is.

I was thinking about Internap an OC3 to south FL and one to ATL since they have like 9 of the biggest providers anyway. But not sure if someone else would be better.
 
into your mix I'd throw MFN/Abovenet

we're using Level(3), Tiscali, AboveNet, Cogent (Lamdanet UK), Aexiomus - very happy with them all
 
Not sure how AboveNet would be here in FL. I think they are more of a west cost provider as far as I know..
 
Level 3 and AboveNet are very good. Great Pings throughout for gaming not to mention their quality of service.
 
MFN transatlantic bandwidth is very good, although probably a more "scientific" method woudl be to analyse where your traffic goes by AS path and see what benefits you could get from Peering or specific routes from specific providers.
 
Thanks guys that should help.. :) I think we will get Internap in first then get MFN in thee.. Should help a bit..
 
Am running;

3.1 Gbps from Level3
3 Gbps from Abovenet
100 Mbps from Mistral
10 Mbps from Easynet
1 Gbps from Telia, LINX, Verio, UUNET, AT&T, Global Crossing, Time Warner, nLayer
2 Gbps from Sprint

Gives me good coverage of everywhere but Japan/China kinda way.
