I noticed that they resell through Covad so that pretty much places them anywhere I need to be. They are offering me a pretty good deal on what I'm looking at. This is going to be for a circuit outside of Arizona. So going with a provider in Tucson is out of the question :)

I don't know how their service rates, but Megapath is near the border of being
blocked by various spam lists. If you were going to be running a server with
mail services I'd get them to tell you the IP range first and run it thru
ORBS/SPEWS to check before commiting.

Megapath has been pretty quite the last couple months, but back in April/May
they were having serious problems (or rather, people were having serious
problem with them). Megapath was refusing to kill spamvertised sites and
listwashing those who complained. There has also been spam traffic
(apparently Ralsky and company) Megapath DSL lines, though I don't personally
recall seeing any.
