Its good in theory, But last time i looked into them, they still didnt have very good connectivity to exodus and above etc. so, your traffic ends up traversing their good cw and uunet links and the like, so to get to places like exodus and above you are still crossing the PX's - Via other carriers, not internap :) But, i would have to say they would be one of my first options if i was looking to develop a facility with only 1 single-homed link. -dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Johnson" <[email protected]> To: "Tom Schmidt" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 6:52 PM Subject: Re: InterNAP? > > Tom Schmidt [[email protected]] wrote: > > > InterNap has some technology to avoid congested peering points.
