Just a brief post here to note that we operate a superior network spanning from New York into the DC area and onto Illinois (and in the next few months, further on to California). We provide both colo/bandwidth at our two flagship data centres (in Washington, DC & Virginia), as well as pure bandwidth at Equinix Ashburn.

We are also happy to assist hosting & related companies with their network infrastructure planning, building and maintenance at all stages (be it a simple switched network, or an advanced BGP load-balancing/performance-enhancing setup).

Pricing varies based on a number of factors, largely the amount of bandwidth needed and term, and can go as low as $50/Mbps for our value bandwidth (that is still superior to most others' premium).

Come and find out what other major hosting companies and ICANN accredited registrars, such as Superb Internet Corp., Internetters, DeZines Web Hosting, Carpathia Hosting, etc. have found: we offer an unbeatable combination of service, reliability and value, be it pure connectivity, or connectivity + colo & related services.

You can find out more about our services at:
http://www.hopone.net/services.php

And review a pricing guide at:
http://www.hopone.net/pricingguide.php
(list, prior to any discounts, which can go as high as 50% on individual case basis)

Also, try a traceroute, looking glass, etc.
http://www.hopone.net/tracertdca1.php

Why buy bandwidth from a single network that is many hops and milliseconds away from other networks, when if you buy the same service from us, you are, in most cases, just one or two hops and less than 2 milliseconds away from most of the Internet's major networks / backbones / ISPs / cable access providers (our 80+ peers and 7 top tier 1 transit providers for the remaining half of non-peer traffic)?

Among other services & features, we provide (optional) redundant BGP connectivity to two routers over a single switched connection (for GigE only), and run an intelligent network that not only picks the best/shortest BGP route as the vast majority do, but probes the Internet every five minutes and picks the actual best performing route, thus avoiding Internet congestion and outages at the various networks.

With any further questions, etc., please feel free to contact us at Sales@HOPONE.NET

Isn't Hopeone and superb internet the same company ?

No. I am not sure where would you get that idea.

Superb Internet is simply one of HopOne's largest colo clients. However, Superb being a HopOne client does not mean that it "is" HopOne. (That'd be the same as saying, for example, "isn't dedicatednow & nac the same company?")

HopOne does not provide ANY web hosting or such services and never competes with its customers. HopOne is solely focussed on facility & colo service management + network infrastructure / bandwidth. HopOne does not sell web hosting services, hardware, or any other such related things that would compete with its customers. When needed, its on-site staff may be contracted out for conducting various tasks for customers (if needed, on a long-term semi-permament basis), etc., but that is as far as it goes.

We have always kept a low profile, and that is perhaps why you tend to associate us with Superb, as it is probably our highest profile, best known, client. But then again, so are other fairly large (10,000s of customers) hosting companies, ICANN accredited registrars, etc.

well the reason we get that idea is becuz superb internet always claimed that they operate their very own network and datacenters in all their advertisements as well as on their website. actually i dont even recall seeing the word "hopeone" anywhere with them at all.

here are the exact words they used in their ads:

Unlike most of our competitors, we own and operate our own network that spans many states (New York, Maryland, DC, Virginia and Illinois) and major cities and thus we are able to peer with most of the large ISPs/cable/DSL providers and major National and International networks/backbones (see above). This is a great advantage, as you will enjoy direct connectivity to these major networks, which means greater performance and lower latency. (Perfect for game servers and other performance-sensitive applications!)

now u r saying they are simply one of ur lagest colo clients. i wonder wut the real story is. :)

Have you ever went to the Superb site? It seems like you haven't.

Try: http://nsssc.superb.net
every page clearly shows "Network By: HopOne Internet Corp" our logo and link to us (at our request, to ensure there would be no such misunderstanding and that our network is accordingly acknowledged).

Also, you can just try a traceroute or a WHOIS lookup on the IPs. It's quite easy, actually. :-)

hopone2,

how can you neglect what qm8309 just said? he gave a direct quote from somewhere on the site... the new images and links on the bottom of the page are exactly that, new! plus, the page u provided url to is not the main site, its simply a network status site... :P

"The physical layer of our network consists of a number of interconnected private OC-12 SONET rings. Our Washington, DC private IDSR (IntelliLight Dedicated Sonet Ring) is provided by Verizon, while our Virginia - DC sonet is operated by Looking Glass Networks." from "http://nsssc.superb.net/information/corenet-info.php"... a line like that... makes it seem like they own the sonet rings, 'cept for the one owned by looking glass networks... and the fact that they are giving credit to a 3rd party (looking glass networks) for one of the sonet rings, makes it seem like they really do own the ones they are claiming are "our"...

"Our network design and operations ensure the very best connectivity, speed, and reliability possible: 100% network uptime, no packet loss, and under 3 ms low latency connection to Tier 1 backbones - guaranteed by our industry-leading SLA." on "http://nsssc.superb.net/information/corenet-info.php". they designed the network? (refering primarily to the connectivity (peers/etc) since they do mention of that earlier on in the page...

heck, i could keep on going... but whats the point? all in all, superb has done a lot in making it seem like they own and operate hopone.net ... but yes, that tiny little image/link is on the bottom of the page... (looks so out of place if u ask me)

I'm not going to bash hopone or superb at all. Harald owns both and runs a very solid shop although I must admit that I know more about his Superb brand than Hopone. I would and have referred people to Superb.

BTW: Carpathia left Hopone at least 8 months ago. Contiguity to 9 other AS's isn't worth $50/Mbps :)

Huh. But HopOne's profits go into the same owner's pockets as profits from Superb, and so directly funds a direct competitor of all web hosting companies... not very honest, Harolds.
