Post by: AcId on August 22, 2002, 10:25:13 AM: Ultimately the owner of the line to the net is a phone company. In some cases it may seem otherwise but those companies are either leasing the line or have purchased rights to use bandwidth on a given line from a phone company.

Title: Why Is Htc Using The Phone Company
Post by: Skuzzy on August 22, 2002, 01:16:46 PM: Box, let me explain.

The phone companies are responsible for the physical transport (i.e. the wire itself), no matter what backbone ISP is used.

HTC does not use the phone companies for thier backbone connectivity.

Oh,..hi again. :D

Post by: fullback on August 23, 2002, 12:48:22 AM: The phone company even installed my new 100Mbps fiber optic line. Talk about reduced latency - holy ping Batman! First 7 hops average 3-4ms. Please excuse my gloating...

But things go sour in Texas :eek:

That doesnt look all that bad to me. 200ms rtt is perfectly fine so long as there is no packet loss.
