I used them as an ISP some 6/7 years ago. Won't personally use them again though. There's been talk of building a data centre in Devon for years now, but nothings really happened, yet. Costs a lot of money to do it properly though. I'm guessing Macace are extending their existing London + Manchester sites to where they live ;-) The hardest part about building a data centre in a rural location is assuring diverse routing of connections into the centre. Having setup such facilities in the past myself, it's not always an easy thing to guarantee. (And BT have been known to be liberal with the truth in the past too, but then Telewest were no better at the time!) If you want to do it, then there is plenty of dark fibre in the SW (in addition to buying from BT) - if you know who to ask for it! I had a 10Mb line from SWISP to my POP in Sowton, then 3 x 10Mb lines to Marldon, Cambourne and Lands end.. This was 6 years ago although I'd guess the operators are still going (Western Power!) Anyway - enough for now - too long a day. Sheffield & back from Buckfastleigh. Most of my own servers are in Sheffield in a nice little data centre up there. It's a bit far, but they've not let me down in over 6 years. I ued to courrier servers there & back until one day UPS decided to put one through a shredder )-: Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
