Have you ever heard of RoadRunner? Sorry to inform ya, but it's owned by AOL and RoadRunner traffic runs on the ATDN network. Here's the current problem and why it pisses me off.

I host gameservers here in Kansas City. The gameservers are on the cogent network. My routing goes from here to dallas to atlanta to new york to chicago back to KC. My ping is high enough that i could print out any data i want to transfer walk to the colo center and type it all back up, compile my scripts and run them before i get a ping reply.

2. you cannot host servers on RR or aol cable and i do not believe you can on their dsl either

the article says "cogent claims aol has no network to speak of"]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5768615 Fri, 24 Jan 2003 19:24:49 EDT Re: aol host nothing http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5768538 Buck Fush : hmm no, AOL has tons of broadband users, DSL & Cable.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5768538 Fri, 24 Jan 2003 19:19:06 EDT aol host nothing http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5768499 rodrod5 : while i will be the first to admit i do not like aol for many reasons i am not trying to bash them here

the fact is that compared to many networks aol host almost nothing....what is aol?? they are a huge dialup service

no one on aol is hosting their own server on aol or even a crappy web page

all of aols traffic is within aol or going out of the walled garden to the real web to get something important

besides out going email how much traffic does aol have for anyone else to recieve from the aol network so that there will be even peering

everyone should just tell aol screw you and pull the plug on them...then they can have that "scientology of the internet like" atmosphere they always dreamed of]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5768499 Fri, 24 Jan 2003 19:15:48 EDT
