Industry
analysis reveals that 70 percent of downtime over 10 hours with
any ISP is caused by telephone circuit failure. Since our NOC is
in the same building as Frontier Global Center, circuit failure
is virtually eliminated because there is no phone circuit between
us and FGC. Instead, there is a direct connection between our Cisco
7200 router and theirs.
The second
most common reason for downtime is circuit failure on the Tier 1
backbone. FGC, themselves a backbone, also have peer connections
with other major Tier 1 providers, which allows traffic to be switched
to other backbones quickly in the event of a crisis.
How reliable is this?
Yahoo is another fine company who connects directly using only FGC.
If you can reach Yahoo, you can reach our network. FGC's groundbreaking
460 Gbps network runs BGP to 25 other major carriers through private
peering arrangements, providing the fastest, most efficient and
most reliable network available today.
