Only ones wit the true props that run their own networks, peering, and datacenters are webair, natnet, oc3 and techie as far as i knows. I use to thinks c h o o p a did as well till dey were down for a week due to being kicked out of their facility for not payin da bills which could happen to any reseller at any time. Resellers are at da mercy of who dey host wit, why not just goto teremark direct! get a rack!

Are you really as uneducated as you sound or is this just supposed to be a joke?

I'm not a reseller of anyone for anything. All we purchase from Terremark is space, power and access to the local peering fabric.

We have two cages from http://www.terremark.com in a 2 million dollar plus five year lease. By comparison to virtually everything else in North America we are in the most premium (and expensive) datacenter. Quality of infrastructure is measurable and does make a difference.

No different than an Equinix which is perhaps better known, Terremark is a premium global datacenter company with multiple properties. The site I'm in is one of the most significant telecommunications projects in the US to date, a carrier neutral true network access point. Over 85% of all network and telephone traffic going South of the United States passes through this site. It's a newer, purpose built 800,000 square foot building that is a fortress and is more than N+1 redundant, providing a 100% uptime guarantee on power and cooling.

There are over 160 carriers and ISPs located in it, a who's who of fortune 500 companies (Yahoo!, Google, Akamai, Sony, YouTube, hundreds more) and a long list of US government, foreign government, healthcare and banking customers.

- We own all of our network equipment and operate it ourselves.

- We have our own IP space, AS 27589.

- I employ a Cisco Certified engineer for managing our transit, peers and network devices.

- We have (2) Gigabit connections to the Terrabit peering fabric here and have established relationships with a handful of peers like Google, Yahoo, Akamai, Verisign plus a handful more with many to come in the future.

- We don't outsource any of our managed technical support, it's all done by employees through payroll. Terremark staff is never in our space except for rare occastions if we should ever choose to utilize their remote smart hands service.

- Our servers are our own, we don't rent them or have them provided by any other company as some other operations do.

- Rather than rely on simplistic BGP4 alone (totally inadequate) we deploy an Internap FCP 5200 (http://www.internap.com/product/tech.../page1533.html) which makes 50,000 to 100,000 route changes daily based on performance.

- We have eight DIRECT contractual relationships for 1G and 10G links with carriers. None of our bandwidth is purchased through brokers, resellers or aggregators. Very few hosts can say this although most claim it.


There you go.............. AliBgone!
