Pro's and Con's: Great location, would require new IPs

Convergent Networks

Location: Hicksville, LI

Pro's and Con's: In Long Island (Hicksville) - poor transportation options. We would need to redo all IP addresses. However, really cheap power and lots of bandwidth. micah notes: quote came in a word document that didn't render properly in openoffice, so I might have fudged these numbers trying to eyeball how it was meant to be presented. They included their terms of service and their network availability and throughput SLA
