Folks, when you study the traceroutes you see some ISPs have 8ms from Zürich to Frankfurt, some Nordic operator has 12ms for example. Still you (Fredy) and others seem to buy from them. Why? What would be the route from that operator to Interbusiness or Milan in general - I would be seriously interested how many ms that would be. Maybe do a ping to 217.29.67.18, and post the ping in ms, no traceroute, let us keep the names out of it please.
It is a general thing. I would have thought swiss ISPs buying a bit more selective based on rtt and peering being local or close by. Disclaimers apply left and right, for you know who I am etc. But I am really surprised, believe it or not. Think about it this way - before there were 2 ISPs you had with 'interesting' domestic peering policies. Now you have three... I could bet with you these three do not react so much about traffic over their upstream unless it is some 500m sustained...? I speak of experience, in a way. No pun intended anywhere. Also I am happy with not naming names too much, raising only a general thought that was too obvious for me to not ask...
