Re: Beginner needs T1 point-to-point advice/help 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. |

 | reply to JoelC707 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 |
