Hi Bernd,
uh, I started a big discussion here ;)
2013/2/5 Bernd SPIESS bernd.spiess@essgroup.at:
hi stephan this is the reason why it is important to really really pick carefully your ip-access or ip-transit provider. ip is not a matter of price/mbit as you can see here
from that point you are completely right.
we as service providers can choose. also I did. I have multiple ISP's @home (yess...), and also in all datacenters.
bu see customer side: - they can choose, too - but they don't care - they choose by price - or because basis link is already there
effectively: - imagine you offer a partners service in sitzerland - and the access is slow for customers - effectively cablecom customers - reason is cablecom ('s peering policy) - but they don't care
so effectively technical this is not my problem here. it is a problem from customers chosen ISP
but again: tell this (just a guess) 1.5 milllion cablecom internet customers
no chance ;)
the only solution: - most cablecom customers must be unhappy and cancel contract - then they may change peering policy
but effectively they will cancel "the other side". because they don't care.
cheers, stephan
ps: got no feedback by upc at all
