Re: Beginner needs T1 point-to-point advice/help Three towns involved.
Two MAY be considered in the same area, but the third is decidedly NOT.
A Comcast trace route between one of the local areas and the more remote site (which already has Comcast) involved four routers and went well past the intended destination before coming back to it. It's like we're trying to connect a stepchild. |

1 edit | The route it takes can vary depending on where in the city it's going. A trace route from Tucson to Atlanta (Decatur) involves 13 hops, all never leaving Comcast's network. The IP I did the trace to hits two routers in Atlanta, the headend and the hubsite it's hosted from (I traced to the CMTS, what many call the "node"). If I had traced to an actual PC it would have had one more hop to go though. Likewise if I do a trace to a PC on the north end of town say in Norcross, It will in one case go through 5-6 more hope before it gets there. If I can remember the IP I used, I'll post examples so you can better see what I'm talking about.
Edit: Can you post a screen shot of the traceroute you did? I could tell you pretty certainly from that if they are considered to be in the same area. Just block out the destination IP address. |

| Unable to provide a screen shot, because the test was conducted from another location.
All four routers were Comcast but I don't remember the IPs. |

We switched the two remote locations to ComCast last night.
All three locatins now on Comcast
WAN performance today appears acceptable with all locations having 2.5 upload |
