Verio also peers with all of the peers natnet does.. kinda strange that out of all the quality carriers verio and natnet peer with.. traffic chooses to flow to natnet via cogent. At least it's redundant and multi-homed.

Dr. Phil,
I can see where at first glance, based on a single traceroute with no other investigations...one might come to the conclusion that you did. Just like I could take a single traceroute like the one I posted below, and say that verio is having problems because of all the timeouts I see in the traceroute. But...I also know that one traceroute does NOT tell an entire story. I DO know that verio has some excellent peering relationships and is a very strong company...and that I most certainly would never draw any conclusions based on that one single traceroute...
As you may or may not know, we just purchased the hosting company XXXstorage.com. The owner of this company investigated many other hosting companies before deciding on selling to NationalNet....and there were MANY reasons why he chose us...one of those reasons being our network infrastructure.
Trust me when I say that our customers know the WHOLE story.
