We tried here (Intergate.Seattle in Tukwila) and came up empty also,
fell back on POTS.
Have you thought about just getting IP from other providers in the building?
I thought it would be cool to start up a little co-op in our building
of copper cross-connects between various providers STRICTLY for OOB
network access. No sales involved, no revenue, strictly butt-saving
OOB access. I was actually getting traction until one ... for lack of
a better term "party pooper"... put the kibosh on the whole thing and
ripped all the wiring out before we had finished.
Several of us thought it was a fine idea. I imagine it *could* work
in certain buildings/environments with more enlightened facilities
and technical people around.
(just sharing the thought out there in case anyone decides to run with it)
