UH can get to SF within 50ms, does anyone get those kinds of numbers on an ISP? It's about double that with Hawaiiantel. Lavanet is still around and claim a latency of 40-80 ms on their DSL service. They appear to piggyback on both Hawaiiantel and Oceanic. ___ LUAU@lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org mailing list http://lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org/listinfo.cgi/luau-freesoftwarehawaii.org

Lava.net is currently using QWEST and TWTC: (lava.net was purchased by Tri-net solutions and is still 100% locally owned) http://bgp.he.net/AS18612 latency from lava.net core to mainland is 60ms . the physical distance adds (about)50ms no matter what.

Kudos to you guys at Tri-Net for buying LavaNet and keeping up the quality. I'm glad it stayed in local hands, I wish you continued success with a really great brand. Some great folks were behind its creation, and I hope the name continues to exist with the expected QOS, Sean. --scott ___ LUAU@lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org mailing list http://lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org/listinfo.cgi/luau-freesoftwarehawaii.org
Re: [LUAU] Anyone got suggestions on low latency to the mainland ISP's
On the backbone side, it is pretty much the same. Most ISPs has enough upstream capacities to a few big carriers who have links to the mainland. The big difference is the last mile. Road runner is less consistent since it is shared with your neighbor. DSL latency is high, around 30ms to the DSLAM, unless you call HT and have them change the default settings (Good luck!). Servpac, a local CLEC, has their own DSLAM covering lots of area on Oahu. Their EFM product boasts symmetrical bandwidth at around $300-400 for 10M download and 10M upload. The latency is about 2-3ms to the backbone router. They don't normally sell to residential. However if your friend is a really serious game, the low latency and big upload pipe might be something interesting. Disclaimer: I work for Servpac.
