New providers and additions to IP Bandwidth

[TomK]

Defender Hosting is proud to announce the addition of two more GE links - (1) another *** Gigabit link (our 3rd GE to ***), as well as (2) the addition of a new carrier to our IP transit mix - Tiscali. (http://www.tiscali.com/) Customers in Europe and Asia should see improved connectivity to our servers.

Enjoy!

Thanks! From 16-19 traceroute hops from Europe now 13.

Good to hear. From the people I've asked before, down from about 14 to 11 (11 for all).

Good job. I have 12 hops and the Tiscali gateways is the 9th. The connection is better.

Thanks for the feedback guys! We are always trying hard to improve the network and connectivity we provide to our customers, as well as keep the redundancy up and make sure we are not reliant upon just one provider.

Hi Tom,

That's really awesome. So does your BGP mix now utilize 6 Gbps bandwidth from Aleron, NAC, nLayer, ServerCentral, *** and Tiscali?

[TomK]

More then 6GB, as we have 2xGE to some of those providers.
