Rather than thousands of ISPs that google might find, that might
not be especially FreeBSD based, a smaller list is here:
	http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/isp.html

One friend of mine np at bsn.com cc'd is at a small so very flexible
pretty much entirely FreeBSD based ISP.

Another friend mwe at consol.de also cc'd is at another ISP, not sure
what percentage FreeBSD, but more bandwidth if you've heavier demand.

I guess all ISPs will ask you similar questions re. what you need
in way of steady & max traffic load, human support, max %
outage per month, 2nd site offset geographic mirroring ?, backup +
slave, or cluster, what extras like php mysql whatever else, inc
which apache Rev.  & a hint of just roughly what ballpark `cheap'
falls in, ie roughly how many zeros in what currency per month you'r
hoping to pay ?

Cheers,
Julian
