    ok we have a company , with new software coming into us , not we have to run a Webserver + FPT server on site , and need a fast line , we were looking at SDSL and leased lines , at the moment we have 4mb Eircom business line it ok , but the up load will not be fast enough i think

    SDSL with BT according to them is not in are area , Leased line is Kinda expencive , but we will go that route if we have to , if there any other option available out there at the moment , that i might have missed ?

    1/1 contention ratio would be nice , this is what SDSL and leased line have

    company is based in Bluebell in Dublin

    What about getting another DSL line in just for the web/FTP server ?

    ive thought about that , but the upload speed would stil be slow if there was a number of customers on it at any one time

    Best Bet is to ring a Business ISP - Netsource, BT, Eircom etc.
    Tell them what you need and see what they say.

    Why host the web/ftp server at your office? You can lease a server in a data centre for about the cost of a DSL line, and your customers will get lots of upload bandwidth. Then you can download from the hosting site to your office on a DSL line.

    Yeah I agree outsourcing to a hosting site is another idea.
    Blacknight.ie and Hosting365.ie are all good for this.

    I have 3 companies setup on blacknight.ie
    Never had a problem
