Re: Qwest routing change recently? Umm, qwest does not have a problem going to California....EVERYTHING (from here) on Qwest seems to go to Califonia, even if i want to go next door 
I resolve yahoo.com to a diferent number so i entered the IP you used. Qwest from Spokane. Looks like you would beat me by 10ms IF i was interleaved 
Tracing route to w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com [66.94.234.13]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 1 ms 2 ms 1 ms 71.216.33.238

Trace complete.
I haven't checked if the routing on my home ISP is diferent. The ping to seattle was 20ms when i used their game servers long ago.
Someday i would love to know why it is best for the internet signal to go 3000 miles to talk to someone down the block....Seems the pipes would be cleaner if there wasn't a 3000 mile joyride. |

kudos:1 | Ask Al Gore. That's how the internet is designed. There are many different entities involved in moving traffic around the world. An ISP could do direct routing, but then that would cost them a lot more money to have trunks to multiple places throughout the world. By centralizing the ISP in a few places, then shipping off to a backbone provider like Level 3, an ISP can be much more efficient and cost effective. The majority of most people's web connections aren't usually in their own town. Later... Mike... |

Ah, interleave, I have, it's just my ISP also runs a regional datacenter...5 miles away. They are very well connected.
I'm guessing you ran that from CET, which would be cheating.
I can beat most any qwest trace. We have time warner backbones and others as well, more than CET. And, I'm damn near sitting on Mae West just like u. Google that.
We got more dark fiber here than most cities have lit, eh? Terabyte Triangle and such nonsense.
Gimme a target, i'll trace it.
Can I trace from my 56 Marietta account?.
I used yahoo as a baseline only.
I'm on 1.5 service, but I can get 7M..which blows our Comtastic buddies out of the water. For less since I don't have TV service.
I see yer from CET..fun..you guys still in business eh?
Funny how ya crash every so often...least ya don't do half the p0rn Icehouse does.
