No, not to your curb. That's why I said third party hosting. I guess my question is really if you need to get bandwidth to your curb, or can you move what needs bandwidth to where it can get it. (Mohammad, Mountain)

SoftLayer looks pretty good if you need your own dedicated hardware, and the computing power that implies. If what you need is storage space and bandwidth though, is dedicated hardware worth the extra cost? In my case I'm running several dynamic websites, with databases, e-mail, a handful of cron and backup scripts, and a podcast with gigs of data transfer each month. I'm not doing any massive number crunching, video editing, etc. that requires dedicated hardware, so Dreamhost covers all my needs for a fraction of the cost of a dedicated system.
