What needs to happen is you need to find a fairly large city in your area, where there are many Internet Providers, and start a 'GOOD' local exchange. This can be hard to do. We found out that many people had a problem with this or that on trying to put together a local exchange. But in the end, it has paid off. Why has it paid off? Because we worked hard to get it to. Yes, we are not done with it as of yet, but we are working to make sure that in the end, it will be a solid exchange, http://utah.rep.net/ Some of the things that is making the Utah REP work. 1. Utah Ed Net is on. They do the connections for every k-12, Uni, CC, and Gov agency in UT. 2. The Larger Providers are on. We worked with the larger in-state providers to join in. 3. Low cost. We were/are not out to make money in this deal. Keep local Traffic Local... Now, this would not work if we had two or three local exchanges in Utah. The load would be spread out among all of them, and there is not that much traffic to justify it. I won't go into it much more here as most of the info is on the web page, but by getting providers to 'talk' to each other at a local exchange helps out. We currently have 12 talking with a few more coming on soon. Christian BTW, it has taken us about two years to get where we are today... And for those of you who care, here are the peaks from just local traffic -----------Last 12 Capture Intervals---------- Start Capture Time Peak Time Peak Mbps * 1.
