a) Stop top-posting when you are replying. Maybe then you'll look less of a WHT500 joker. b) I don't need to explain why it doesn't work. Proof of burden is on whoever says "it works". In more technical terms, trying to be better than the ISP itself to route packets across ISP's own backbone is *hard*. I'm not saying it is impossible. I'm saying, all the solutions I've seen (from internap or netvmg or OER or gamerail or whatever is the solution-du-jour) all far very short of the "correct" solution, and end up breaking more things than they "optimize".
