Ashburn, Virginia Voice Communication

Ashburn, located in Northeast Virgina, is actually a part of the larger Washington, D.C. metropolian area. Ashburn serves as home to Verizon Business which used to be MCI Inc. and the Washington Redskins as well. Other important cities in the Ashburn, Virginia area include Baltimore and Richmond. Further southeast lies Chesapeake bay and south of there lies Viginia Beach, boasting the most inhabitants of any city in Virginia.

Ashburn does not have the most colorfol past and cannot claim to be the birthplace of many people of distinction. For example, none of the cast members from the original feature film "Revenge of the Nerds" were born in Ashburn, Virginia. Ashburn was not the birthplace of Regis Philbin, the Michael Jordan of TV Hosts. None of the members of the pioneering dance group C&C Music Factory were born in Ashburn, Virginia either. This leaves Ashburn as a city of functionality rather than a cultural center.

Nonetheless, Ashburn is still a prime location for a Ventrilo / Teamspeak server due to its great connectivity to the greater Washington D.C. area. In this respect, Ashburn is a superior location compared to Richmond or Baltimore. This is why we have opted to choose Ashburn over the other prospects considering it's secure and accessible location.
