If anyone is interested in setting up an alternative Atlanta NAP, I have
a very spacious first-floor apartment which I am more than happy to
volunteer to the effort. It's even somewhat sunk below ground level, and
I think my neighbors wouldn't mind the occassional running of a generator.
I've already got 10MB/s, which puts the Northside-Circle-NAP on par with
MAE-NY, right?
499 Northside Circle
Apt 414
Atlanta, GA
Colo space is $49/month for the kitchen, $69 for the living room. In
light of the objections raised by Mr. Dillon, upstairs space (aka.,
"Todd's Bedroom") is cheaper at $29, and the shower can be yours for a
mere $19.95 per month!
Initial incoming bandwidth is 128k, meaning we're already faster than the
orig. NSF backbone!
Sign up now, space is very limited.
As for geographical diversity, a fellow engineer who lives about a
quarter-mile down the road just said he, too, has free rack space with a
similar setup. However, since his is a second-floor apartment, he's
going to undercut my pricing. Bastard!
