Default What ISP do you have at work

We are looking to replace our ISP here at my work and I am having problems finding a good replacement. What ISP does you use at work and more importantly are they reliable.

My company uses terago. I only found that by doing speed test. Our system seems to be good and fast.

Non managed ISP for everyone else.

Telus, and it's frickin' brutal.

We are tied to using Telus, as they are one of our member companies and we have no choice of ISP. Everytime there is a major breakdown (read: once every 2 months) at our private server bunker we get screeeeewwwed.

I know this won't help you out much, as you don't live in San Francisco... but our work ISP is Unwired. It's quite good.

A combination of Bell and Telus. And I have news for you, they both suck at the corporate level too.

We've been hitting them up with surprise outage tests. We literally take one of our stores down, and wait to see how long it takes both to respond to an outage. So far, after three or four tests, neither company has even called to let us know that we have a site down. So much for managed services with monitoring...

Shaw. Have investigated Terago a few times and it seems good.

I agree with this.
