Because of the proven unreliability of single NAPs (Network Access Points), we have made connections to multiple backbone providers. At this time, our network currently consists of 15 DS3's (one DS3 is about 45 MBPS or the equivalent of about 15 T1 lines). This allows us to easily reach remote networks even in the case where a NAP may be unhealthy, or when a specific backbone connection is down. It also allows us to make intelligent routing decisions. For example, if we are trying to reach a remote network which is on the MCI network, there's no reason to send it out to UU Net first.

For redundancy, we are currently running BGP4 (border gateway routing protocol) to maintain maximum speed and uptime. If one backbone line goes down, it will balance the load to the others. If one line gets congested, it will load balance the traffic.

Our network has been deployed and continues to develop in a fashion that provides the speed and reliability you demand, at an affordable price.

Our Guarantee
We currently guarantee 99.5% network uptime. We will increase this guarantee to 99.95% when our new OC-48 SONET line to 11 different providers has been installed. We expect this to be completed very soon.
