Multiple providers pretty much means a carrier neutral colo. In the DC
area, your big 3 are:
Equinix
PAIX
Switch and Data
For price, quality, and if your goal is primarily to purchase transit, I
would recommend Equinix, located in Ashburn VA.
That said, this isn't the appropriate list for that kind of question.
ISP-Bandwidth or ISP-Colo might be more appropriate.
