Re: List of Gateways for top ISP?
Okay, maybe I should state why exactly I am asking this and maybe you guys can think of how I can better phrase my question.
We have a website that has a file people download from all across the USA. We want people to be able to have the file be downloaded faster, and so our operations team told us that they want to know the gateways of the top ISPs in the US so they can start doing tests regarding connectivity. Would giving them a random gateway from all the major ISPs do the trick? |

It appears your operations team has no idea how the Internet works.
If you want to optimize file download you need to geographically disperse your servers and locate them on well peered networks. For example, Google maintains multiple sites around the country.
Unless you are generating that kind of traffic it is probably overkill. Just make sure your server farm is well connected.
