Finding internet providers
Hello experts - We recently had a major problem with our internet provider (Broadview) and have been down for more than 30 days. I'm looking to switch providers but don't know where to start. Broadview's service had been purchased through a VAR which I'd also like to get away from. Where can I go to find out who can provide dedicated business internet service with 10 public IPs for us in my area? I've already tried FIOS and they are not available at two of the three sites I need to connect. I've got Comcast/Optimum as my failover already setup and need to find a primary, preferably with 100mb service.

Well that is kind of the problem...where would I find this list of internet providers that have service in my area? For instance, it took 4 phone calls to Verizon only to find out they don't provide FIOS in my building. I'm looking for some kind of database that has info on what providers are available in my area.

There's only one place you can start really
Make a list of providers that serve the locations you need service in, and compare their service and pricing
I'd personally suggest staying away from fledgling (new and building out) service providers that have less than a 3 year foot print in the area.
