Ahem, my success rate at that has been less than stellar. If you guys (you service providers, not you Sean) are so worried about being asked questions in public (and short of com-priv, I see no more logical place for this than NANOG if "local" questions don't work], why don't you work on schemes to pro-actively publish performance data?
Ya, we are working on this and will have the data available via www and ftp. I think the problem with most providers (sprint, mci, etc included) is they don't want that info available to customers. My sprintlink connection has been down countless times. It is not just sprint (sprint has one of the best networks) my mci link has been down aslmost as much. And if I looked at that info on a www page I would not pick them. We will have our connection up a a few NAP's soon so I will see, we may be down just as much. Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.
