That is also true Virgil. When a data packet has to traverse a different route back than from where it came, the chances of more problems occur.

Look at it like this. When you drive someplace and arrive on time and safe, you know you have a good path back to the original destination (i.e. you go back the way you came). If you decide to take a different route on the way back home, you could get lost or held up by construction or other problems.

Same with data packets traversing a different route back. The unknown quantity is, "will it make it back on that different route?".

I have spent a lot of time in the AT&T datacenter in Allen (Dallas suburb), I assume that is the one you are looking at?

My suggestion would be to use one of the more independent datacenters like Inflow (hands down the best ones I've ever used). They are not an ISP in that they do not provide circuits to your demarc and as a result have major pipes from all the tier-1 providers which they can then load-balance FOR you.

The DC in Allen was about 25% full last time I was there (previous job) so you should be able to get some good rates, but if AT&T has an issue like Savvis is having you may find that all your eggs being in their basket is not the best plan.

Inflow was bought by Sunguard. I have used them in Phoenix and Raleigh. By far the best hosting facility I have ever used.

Players helping out HTC - now this is part of what "community" is about in my opinion.
