Boise, ID | Sonet Ring would be nice A Sonet Ring for Boise would be nice. I mean, I send an email to another person here that is local and the email is sent to seattle and back.
Boise really should be looking at getting something like this in place to route local traffic here rather than all over the place to end up back to here. |

| Are you serious? Is Boise really that behind the times that they don't have SONET anywhere in the city? Please tell me they aren't running some kind of silly copper DS3 infrastructure there...

A SONET Ring has nothing to do with how Internet traffic is routed. Finding a major city without a SONET Ring is just about impossible. Async gear is pretty rare for interoffice trunking.
You do realize that Seattle is one of the largest Internet peering points in the country. |

ALL T3s are delivered over Fiber. The coax interface doesn't go more then 100 feet I've read. |

I said the bit about copper DS3 infrastructure to illustrate the scenario that was being discussed (Boise supposedly being so behind the times that they have no fiber rings). A quick Google search shows that Boise does in fact have some fiber though.
Here's an article discussing Boise's SONET connections to Salt Lake City and Portland:
