1 edit | Anyone in Columbus, Ohio have Lightning Bolt???
Hi, if anyone in Columbus has lbdsl...I have a few questions. Is there a local POP? I want to try something different for gaming, and I've heard lots of good things about LB DSL but a good isp with a stable connection won't matter if I can't get decent pings to servers. Anyway, if anyone has it...can you ping or do a tracert to the following servers so I can get some sort of idea:
games1.chi1.speakeasy.net
games1.nyc1.speakeasy.net
thanks. |

Good afternoon, I will let our users chime in about sample trace routes, and pings, But i can answer your PoP question. Columbus, OH users are routed to our Detroit PoP, which is actually in Southfield, MI.

Columbus, OH | Thanks for the reply. I wonder what my first hop ping would be to the detroit PoP. I can't seem to find any dsl companies with a columbus PoP  |

Re: Anyone in Columbus, Ohio have Lightning Bolt???
what is not bad though? i wouldn't consider 20 ms to be good. i would want a dry line (i don't have phone service) and the installation for that looks to be pretty expensive. my concern is that i would spend a lot of money for something and then not be satisfied with the pings. if pings were good, however, then the installation cost and a year contract wouldn't even be an issue. |

Columbus, OH | what i meant is that i wouldn't consider a 20-30 ms ping to the first hop to be good. obvious 20 ms to actual destination is very good. |
