Course it wont be complete google owned network at all they would have to be using like level 3 or somebody to get bandwidth transport to KC, MO and I like to see the live speeds soon as they get these customers hooked up for real and not some BS lie so they can get money from these customers.

Google has their own backbone to interconnect their data centers and POPs which has a lot of peering and yes they do connect to Level3 for transit to reach the networks that they do not peer with. Every other ISP has to rely on peering and/or transit to get data to and from their networks. Even if they did not use their own backbone for commercial Internet access but just to access their DCs for Google services it isn't as if there is a shortage of commercial transit bandwidth from the wholesale providers in the city.

jvanbrecht join:2007-01-08 Bowie, MD	That is incorrect.. Hop 7 of a trace to google.com 7 google-gw.customer.alter.net (152.179.50.62) 54.481 ms 49.640 ms 50.306 ms UUNET (now Verizon) does not use $-gw.customer on peering routers, only customer routers, therefore google is paying as a customer, not a peer.

Kearnstd Elf Wizard Premium join:2002-01-22 Mullica Hill, NJ	reply to treichhart This is no different than any other business. ATT/VZN/Comcast/L3 all connect Google to the world, but that is their backbone divisions operating pretty much independent of their customer facing divisions. Much like how Apple is suing Samsung's phone division and competes with that division at the storefront. But their gadgets use parts from Samsung's chip fab and LCD panel divisions. -- [65 Arcanist]Filan(High Elf) Zone: Broadband Reports
