Though why a DSL provider would pick a company who's model for optimizing traffic is far more useful outbound then inbound is beyond me. Maybe INAP gave them some $200/meg transit to try and stay in business... > ---Finally gets to QWest (used to be USworst ... may still be) but still > hasn't left SF And InterNAP uses QWest for transit... > ---Then goes down to Los Angeles, for some sunshine. Semi reasonable on qwest's part...

It's always possible that using Qwest and peering with AboveNet in LA is better then using Sprint and peering with AboveNet in the bay area... That being said, it's more likely then not just minus points for the ASimilator...
