Re: Any Covad Gurus in the house

I wouldn't call myself a complete guru, but I can try answer maybe a few things. In rough nutshell, Covad provisions xDSL services to those companies. They've all partnered up to do so. And as of late, they've allowed the use of their networks too in provisioning DSLs to customers.

(Someone can correct me if I'm wrong as I've been out of the blue since Covad extended their agreement with ATT back in 2003)

That average hop it takes to get around the US servers varies between 8-14 hops on many residential based services that covad provides, few business tiers included. This is normal.

The Covad Business DSL that you mentioned in your comment, what type was it? There's a varying degree of available business services from covad (like ADSL, SDSL, e.t.c) Covad tends to treats their symmetrical services with a more robust approach, especially with their target time repairs.

With that said, we could possibly assume the product you tested was top graded.
