[olug] hello, colo

[charles.bird at powerdnn.com]

Pinpoint has a good location for getting cheap bandwidth down on farnam.

I'm going for a tour there soon, never been there before.

Bandwidth in this town is just under 30 bucks per Mb transit at the pops if doing 100Mb or less. I'd estimate 23 bucks per Mb or less if your doing 1Gb or more, colo prices, I'm not sure what they run there

http://www.binary.net would be an option.  They are Lincoln based.
PowerDNN is out at CoSentry.  Charles Bird works for them and is a
member of Olug.  He may or may not be able to work something out with
you.  (Sorry if that doesn't work for you Charles).  If anyone knows a
contact at Pinpoint DataCenter here in Omaha, they would possibly be
an option.
