Re: Comcast/Level3 issues
Kevin, Thank you for the info. Can you say how many quarters or years until Comcast is resolved? I've seen references to that obscure whitepaper (co-authored, ironically, by Patrick Gilmore) before on the broadbandreports forums, by someone with a lot of knowledge on Comcast's network and internal politics/peering discussions. Do you know who the poster is? https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=28619103+dslreports+site:www.dslreports.combiw=1000bih=1000 Drive Slow, Paul WALL On Sun, Jan 5, 2014 at 6:17 PM, McElearney, Kevin kevin_mcelear...@cable.comcast.com wrote: FWIW, we work with each issue and try to fix them as best we can.

³Paul², I don¹t read this list often, and rarely have seen a private message reposted as you did, but at the risk of DFTT, give me some time to think through a discussion topic for this list which touches on some of these issues. - Kevin DISCLOSURE: On DSLR, I am ccneteng when I visit there. http://www.dslreports.com/profile?find=ccneteng
