[Lust] Commercial squid cache

[Robin Smith]

I was thinking of setting up this service as it could be a reasonable
idea especially for Zope and Plone based websites - I wouldn't mind
paying a few quid a month for the service if it already existed - google
doesn't give any clues of it existing.

I have recently changed from NTL cable to freedom2surf. NTL were awful
for dealing with faults. Freedom2surf are based in St Albans where I
live so if they start giving bad service I can go and knock on their
door.
