I concur. We have sites all over the US and it is about 80-100 ms from coast to coast with both of our MPLS providers. 45 minutes away your latency should be <5ms on a decent network. ------------------------------------------------- --- mikeal.clark@gmail.com wrote: From: Mikeal Clark <mikeal.clark@gmail.com> I have some AT&T MPLS sites under a managed contract with latency averaging 75-85 ms without any load.
