anyone using teleglobe?
I have a gigE from teleglobe due in any day. Is anyone using them for connectivity? Any comments? What's their routing look like? What should I expect if I'm dumping ~300Mbps at them? I'm trying to pre-determine if I'll run into any problems from my more "sensitive" customers. Thanks. -- matthew zeier - "In mathematics you don't understand things.

My taking on TeleGlobe is that they are yet an other provider about to go bankrupt, and thus sell their service very cheap, which works fine as long as they have capacity, but when that runs out, they probably doesn't have the funding to upgrade their network. So my personal advise: Use it as long as the quality is good enough, when that drops go shop elsewhere, but be prepared to pay more ...

We noticed teleglobe sending us 400+ BGP announcements per day up until March 22. 207.45.223.0/24 207.45.205.0/24 207.45.195.0/24 For example, the graph linked below shows where 207.45.223.0/24 sent us ~ 400 updates per day for many months: http://ginseng.lcs.mit.edu/bgpview.cgi?time=between&start=2001-10-1&end=2002-4-18&bins=500&prefix=207.45.223.0%2F24&rel=eq&aspath=&asrel=contain&origin_as=&scale=linear&table=updates_new&action=plot&View=View On 3/22/2002 12:55:35 EST, we saw a withdrawal for all three of these prefixes, followed by an advertisement of the aggregate 207.45.192.0/19 on 3/22/2002 23:05:00. ...and the large amounts of advertisements stopped once and for all. Can someone enlighten us as to what happened here? Why were these prefixes flapping out of control for so long? Thanks, Nick On Tue, 16 Apr 2002, Jesper Skriver wrote:

We have been using Teleglobe (via a grant to NCSA) for a 45 Mbps link, Chicago to Russia, to be upgraded to 155 Mbps as soon as we can get the POS card from Cisco delivered. Their service has been more than satisfactory. --Steve
