Re: [Northeast] Higher pings tonight?

Pings are improved..hopefully it stays! As of 5pm my ping to the co-lo in Philly is 8-11ms vs in the 30+ ms a few days ago. It's going to NY Alter -- NY L3 -- PHL L3. What's interesting is sometimes it'll go through Qwest instead of L3, which has less hops.

Does Comcast somehow go directly to Level 3? Forgive my ignorance, but my understanding is that with Verizon the signal has to hop through Alter.net before reaching Level 3, whereas with Comcast the signal goes directly from their backbone to Level 3? I ask because I have a Comcast install scheduled, but with the speeds restored I'm considering cancelling and staying with VZ.

By the way, according to my very detailed graphs I have running, the problem seems to start around 7-8pm. So lets see what happens then!
