no, that one is not.


But you really shouldn't think in terms of TEAMS vs SEACOM, they are
completely out of the loop, which for tracrt 1 is : Roke --> Orange
UG-->OpenTransit-->PCCW-->next hop

Tracert 2: DNet-->Infocom/KDN--> Global Crossing--> PCCW

So maybe there is a business reason that gblx cant send packets to
that netblock via PCCW? Maybe it's just a shite VSAT connection that
times out? Maybe some other reason?  You can try to reach PCCW, but I
wouldn't hold out much hope of a reply.

It's hard to peer regionally when your upstream is a VSAT link. ;-)
