Nah, the discussion was for archives, and as you were
saying - "Don't
put it online unless you have the bandwidth and controls to do it
right". So, I assumed we weren't talking about someone with a lil 10mb
pipe. And putting on bandwidth controls by itself isn't good enough,
because you'll run out of steam for a serious archive. So, do it right
or don't do it at all.
My words, or yours?
How do you
determine "quality" bandwidth?
To those of us who work in that business,
this is not a subjective
question. It's pretty cut and dry. Latency, hops, outages, routing
issues, and peering/connectivity.
Sorry, I worded that poorly. I was more asking what your level of
interaction was with XO that led you to that conclusion.
