Colorado Springs ISP

I recently switched my Internet service to a company called Zip Broadband. Zip is a Colorado Springs ISP that specializes in wireless access points. They've built a high-speed fiber ring around the entire city and (it seems like) over 95% of the city can see at least one access point.

Why is it important to have 1 or more access points? Well, for residential users, there isn't much point. But for the business user, staying connected to the internet is crucial for many companies. Two access points essentially gives you protection from your internet service going down. If someone accidentally cuts the power line to one point (or hits it with a car or some other unforeseen disaster) a second access point will keep you online.

I recommend Zip -- HIGHLY recommend them. Give them a try -- there are no contracts and installation is free.
