Getting A T3 To Our Office
Jul 25, 2008
I've noticed on a T3 quote site that regardless of T3 speed, they seem to give you the same local loop connection (as it costs the same for each one). [url]It shows some of my information but I don't really mind (come get me! ). Notice that the local loop for T3 whether its 5 mbits or 45 mbits is ~1800 a month. Is that really what a local loop rated for T3 speeds costs?
I am in the bay area, in pleasanton specifically. It would be awesome to get a local loop to a datacenter and then pickup some bandwidth cheap from a provider. Does anyone have experience with local loops, and know their general price range and availability etc? I'd rather probe around here and be prepared before I go and give various providers a ring.
HE.net in fremont is about 14.7 miles from the office, and MPT in san jose is about 30 miles away from us.

I am located in Japan and presently am renting a dedicated windows 2003 server hosted in the US. However, most of my sites (about ten) cater to the local Japanese market. When I do a ping or traceroute to my server in the U.S. and compare it with same for servers in Japan, there is a world of difference.
8 hops in Japan as compared to 18 to the U.S. server. The hops in Japan are about 13 ms but the hops within the U.S. are 130 to 200ms from my location.
Based on this information, I would assume I would be better off having a server physically located here in Japan.
If I were running Linux, I would have no problems finding a good plan but I run Windows 2003 (all my sites are in ASP) and there isn't that much avaialble here. I got some quotes and even though the server rentals are reasonable, they kill you on options. Also, for some reason the plans here do not have additional IP's available as an option.
Backups are so high that they tell you to get two servers (nonsense).
I have also looked into colo in Japan. Most want you to rent a full rack. I found one that wanted $400 for 1/4 rack but then I would have to pay for a line on top of it.
The cost of bringing in a T1 line into my office is $275/mt which I think is reasonable (considering what stuff costs in Japan). My sites are not high traffic so a T1 line is probably enough. There is also 1GB optical fiber for the consumer market but I would think the T1 would be more reliable.
I realize there are those that insist that a server be located in a data center but power outings do not happen that often here. The office is located on the 5th floor of an office building.

We have co-location space at a local San Diego data center with a 100mbps connection. We are looking for a faster internet connection at our office (currently just have DSL with is 1.5mbps down, 768kbps up) which is literally 2 miles away from the data center. I may be completely offbase and wrong here, but is there way we can setup a VPN connection or direct Point-to-Point connection between our office and our shared cabinet, and then utilize the internet connection and bandwidth provided by our shared cabinet for our office?
If this is possible, I would assume we would need special hardware, which is fine, just need details on how this works. Currently we have a SonicWall TZ180 at our shared cabinet and a Hotbrick SoHo 401W at the office.

I have comcast cable with good speed, and would like to set up a web servers for five domains. Comcast does not provide more than one ip. Hence, I wanted to setup a dns server to host five different domains using this one ip for dns servers.
First, is it possible to host many domains with one public ip and many private ips.

Currently we have DSL, but the upload speed inst cutting it, our current plan is:
Download: 1.5mbps
Upload: 512kbps
1 Dynamic IP
We are looking for something with the following:
Download: 1.5mbps or greater
Upload: 1.5mbps or greater

Can anybody recommend any solutions in particular? Is t1 the only solution? We want to keep costs inline, and under $150 a month.

I am attempting to add Office 365 to a domain on my server. To verify my DNS settings they require me to add the following records:
Lync Online
Type Service Protocol Port Weight Priority TTL Name Target
SRV _sip _tls 443 1 100 1 Hour @ sipdir.online.lync.com
SRV _sipfederationtls _tcp 5061 1 100 1 Hour @ sipfed.online.lync.com
With Plesk 12 I cannot set a weight of 1 and a priority of 100 in DNS. What is the solution to allow this to verify?
OS: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Plesk version: 12.0.18 Update #25

Target server is located in Fremont California.
The fiber optic cable has:
A. Higher ping time and
B. Higher standard deviation
compared to the DSl line.

I'm running plesk 11.5.30 and I'm having an issue with the new word doc format (.docx) being recognized as a zip file. I've read several posts that explain what mime types to add, and I've found the spot where I need to enter them. The part I'm not sure about is whether the custom mime types field is an addition to the current mime types or a replacement list. Does that field just needs the new mime types or a full list?
