Hiya folks!
Thanks for the warm welcome! Seems like I found another community here that is friendly, knowledgeable and super duper local. I actually pinged you from Lakeside and not cbt (equinix) and I'm impressed:
skr01:~# ping 208.76.83.49

And my tracroute:

That was actually really close to the route I had in my head and it is a beautiful thing. I dare not post my ping/traceroute from my home no thanks to RoadRunner hehe. There is no fix for that routing due to the obvious. When I find a new job I plan to move so hopefully I will have better options. Actually, I plan on getting both cable and dsl because if I loose internet I loose my mind and I wander around like a blind idiot.
I just made a tuition payment for my daughter so it might be a few weeks or a little longer to catch up with all the fun stuff. I'll track you folks down soon.
Once again, thanks for the great hospitality. Once I get things going and all is set you folks won't hear from me much unless I'm schooling around the forums reading stuffs. Think of it this way, I actually had one provider call me once to see if I was still alive. Know this, I am definatley interested and will be in contact seeking options regarding types of bandwidth packages you might have and also visit too. Drink your coffee and eat your food.
Cheers!
Gregg
