What was the point of posting this again? Every promising local ISP/colo
provider has problems, since you cannot please everyone all of the time.
What really matters is how _you_ are being treated and are they delivering
the services they promised you when the contracts were signed.
This sort of fruitless bitching pretty much serves no useful purpose.
Content:
I keep hearing about schemes like FastPath (tm, pat pending) and ASAP (tm)
because apparently the BGP path selection is inadequate. Could someone
actually give some concrete examples or should I just chalk it up to
rumors since operationally, BGP couldn't be worse.
