[SASAG] Recommendations for business internet provide in Seattle WA

[macker]

Cant speak on the routing in Westin, that location is way before my time. We
work out of fischer (the Westin is full afaik, and don't think any space is
in fischer either but I could be wrong). There is a newer location that
might have space, but thats outside of me. In addition, I have heard a
number of complaints about bitpusher, so take it with a grain of salt, so I
guess it's going with whats right for you.

I don't think the person you mentioned is even in Seattle, think they are on
the east coast. Not sure why your salesman would be on the opposite side.

However, the bandwidth and failover are great at inap, with a great team of
engineers. The NOC is great too, not sure what happened on your side, but
cannot please everyone. I would really have no clue what we charge, but know
there are cheaper options.

You get what you pay for.
