Re: High ping times to sprintlink.net

Waaay back before Sprint came to town it was United Telephone. Bell South is the only other company close to here but they don't go past Knoxville (72 miles away).

Ahh... you're just barely across the border. Guess they just backhauled everything back to NC since that's the closest thing to that market. Who was your local telco before Sprint took over? Was it Centel?

Umm... that's interesting... your location in your BBR profile says Johnson City, TN... however, your tracert tells me you're somewhere in central NC and that you're connected through the Rocky Mount, NC backhaul.
That's strange... I'm in JC Tennessee. Why whould it be showing my first hop in North Carolina?

I just did a speed test and I'm only getting 320kb/s on my 1.5Mb connection.
