Hey,
Just a note about internetseer stats. It's a decent tool for determining uptime, or service degradation (usually), but using it's metric of "average connect time 0.19 secs" to compare to other hosts is a bad metric to use... That number will depend a lot on operating system-operating system quirks, their software, their physical location, and their network characteristics. it is entirely possible for them to have a worse metric for a better carrier.
I'm not saying anything about swiftco one way or another (honestly, I've never heard of them). Just letting you know it's a bad metric to use.
Another example of a metric people throw around a lot that they don't understand. Fixedorbit... just because it says someone has say, 10 connections. It doesn't mean they only have 10, they may have plenty more. It shows what fixedorbit can see from it's location, and public route servers. If, for example though, it says someone has one connection, it's pretty unlikely they have connectivity from anyone else, but, in some cases they do. In any case, it's really unlikely they have "lots" of connections.
In like whoa's case, for example. They have Yipes and Network Plus, even though fixed orbit only shows yipes.
