providing a fast and reliable connection to the rest of the world.
Our server is co-hosted by a company that runs on 3 DS-3s, 2 T-1s and an OC-3. These are fully fiber-optic connections.
Their lines are currently less than 50% loaded at peak times. There is no dial-up or
USENET traffic over these lines are used for web hosting and e-mail only.
They connect to meshed ATM backbones covering the entire US, and are peering at all the major
backbone providers' network interchanges.
155Mbps OC3c SONET rings are employed in each major metropolitan area - this is a new advanced
network technology that provides exceptional throughput, and outage resiliency locally.
Over 350Mbps of connectivity to network peering points, including 100Mbps to MAE-East and
MAE-West, makes this one of the best connected backbone networks in the USA. The meshed ATM
configuration ensures that any outages does not affect the whole network.
