What are some clever tech-related sponsorship levels?

Help me think of some clever sponsorship levels for our upcoming tech conference.
I am on the planning committee for a fairly small (150ish attendees) national conference. The organization that puts on the conference is a group of Catholic IT professionals. This year, we're implementing sponsorship levels, like "Platinum", "Gold", and "Silver". But those are kind of boring.
Help us think of some technology-themed levels we can use.
We will have three levels of sponsorship, and the titles need to be obviously "good", "better", and "best".

T-1, T-3, OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC-192 -- for the non-techies, these are the most common sizes of internet "pipes". A T-1 transmits 1.544 megabits per second, a T-3 is 43.232 megabits/second, an OC-3 is 155 megabits per second, and so on. As an ex-techie myself, I'd love to strut around saying "Yeah, well I'm an OC-3".

The nine orders of angels:
Angels, Archangels, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Dominations, Throne, Cherubim and Seraphim.
Maybe use the first and last two?

Response by poster: I think we're probably going to go with the mega/giga/tera suggestion. Not as exciting as I'd hoped, but easily understood, at least.
