 Will San Diego ever be connected to the LA Pop?

I have been a happy member of Sonic for about three weeks now and have been very satisfied with the service. What I was wondering is if SD will ever get connected to the new Pop in LA that Sonic started up back in October? I know that currently all my data gets routed through SF and maybe SJ before it goes out, I guess it just seems like it would make more sense for those of us this far south to go to LA instead of all the way up north.

I don't anticipate that we'll re-work San Diego into LA in the near future. The challenge is the engineering of the long haul links and the sizing and configuration of the POPs that serve North and South.

That said, we haven't observed much up side for LA customers who are now served out of LA - the vast majority of traffic either goes North to the Bay Area anyway, or goes to East coast or European destinations that have similar performance regardless of whether you start in LA or SF. The only noticeable difference is likely to be a change in first hop ping - the actual performance to typical resources is generally equivalent.

All of that said, we may change this configuration in future - we're working on lots of expansion, and it's possible that we'll change the things around at some point.
