I found a server in NY that I can ping to in the 30-40's (ARIN records show it's in NY). I'm in southern AZ. Here's a trace to that server:




Now to our server:




And from our server to me:



Now, it'd be nice to receive those kind of pings on our server. But, I'm not exactly sure if SM is the people to be talking to about this. Might be my ISP, but it doesn't hurt to ask (probably a bad time to ask, though heh!)

divo is located in cali. also the router with the name san jose should give that away.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense then

Thanks for clearing that up

stupid misleading arin entries

lol. had to copy and paste that

Arin never makes a mistake, Never!
Subliminal Broadcast: Arin is always right, Arin is always right,...

I'd still like to come in on Level3 because then my connection wouldn't need to go to Cali and then to Dallas. That'll cut down on some ping

You'll have to speak to COX about their routing then, since they control how your packets get back to us.

heh would it be possible to change the way your isp route's you?

If you call clearing your browser cache changing the ISP's routing, sure, I'm sure your ISP's tech support will be happy to do that for you

Depends on your ISP and who you know in their network department I've had my ISP change some routes for me before

That's what I though, but wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for clearing that up.

Would be nice of them to change it (Cox that is), I've been getting slower loading times by the week now too all my boxes here at SM

Both of you should give them a call, the more complaints they get, the more likely they are to do anything, right?

Indeed.
I plan on calling tomorrow.

You should do the same, Mr. Brown

Harrass them until it gets done muihaha

Done that, they said they will look into it

Edit: I'll give them another call tommarrow see if I can't get someone to help.

Called them and the tech said that it was out of hands. I kept asking him if there was someone I could talk to about that, but he said that it'd probably have to be someone in atlanta...
