Dear List: I have a customer that has a 3 meg link into my backbone providers network. Unfortunately they are not getting anywhere near 3 megs between their 3 meg link and my 100meg direct connect over this backbone network. (Lucky to get 1 meg) The existing provider is 'reluctant to reroute traffic over a more optimal link for 1 customer'. (I'll keep my venting to myself on this one..) Lets say I add another provider that has a peering point 12ms away from this customer. Is it possible to route this traffic through the alternative provider? I guess the easy solution would be to advertise only this customers specific network to the alternative provider. I know this is a vague question, just would appreciate some opinions and thoughts.

You mentioned in a follow-up message using FTP. How "far" (both network time and distance) are the two networks? What are the machines in question? I want to rule out bandwidth*delay issues...
