This was about a year ago, maybe things have improved since then.. on the old dial-ups, I was lucky to get downloads of 3k/s on a 49k connect.. where with other ISP's, I was able to get 4-5k/s all the time. Of course, I stuck with Sihope because they would route me a /28 over a dialup.. :) > Plus we don't have the problems inherant with being a customer of a > certain provider that doesn't know how to properly speak BGP to it's peers > since it fired most of it's technical staff after they merged...again. Hmm... mr.net, you mean? :) That's why we've got a Sprint T1 now.. funny thing, ~90% of our traffic goes out that connection.. you would think mr.net would be the better route since they are multihomed better, but nope.. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
