Thanks guys, virtu mike you are right in a way, what they won't do is change their routes for you, if they have a clogged peering point, they will not adjust it for you. If you are in hosting you know people call and ask, hey we are slow to this network, can you reroute us? we do it all the time. when you are an isp thats what your engineers should do. We host hosting companies, some pretty big ones actually and as the isp we have to watch those peering points. Hey anthony, thanks for the vote of confidence, am waiting to meet you at a show one of these days. For free hosted galleries and things, I think cogent and btn and the other cheap isps are great, hey its free to those mfer's out there, wait little buddy, if you want the real stuff pay for a membership. We have cogent and btn in the mix and they are great when you are in their network, but its a horrible thing to only have em. remember one last thing, hosting is more than good peering, its a relationship, like the guys you do business with, because you are gonna have to talk to them all the time. you can't choose your family, but you can choose your business partners. We all have different strengths. honestly I have talked to virtu mike about maybe gettin some space in ther data center in amsterdam, I like mike, he gave me a kick ass robe in miami. I got the data center in the US with the most peering, hands down by a huge margin, but I might not be your kinda guy and you people would have to talk to me a lot. lol, its all true. Some hosting companies are server guys, they know nothing about peering, but they are kickass with unix or linux. wel all have strengthsand weaknesses, don't just follow someones sig cuz its says hosting, talk to your rep ask questions, you will never regret that.
