Since when HE becomes Tier1?

I think it was right around the time a few dozen company on WHT received trillions of dollars in private funding to build out national networks and develop revolutionary advances in DWDM to enable them to offer 10Mbit servers for $79.95

Just a theory.

:cool:

Is Market Post Tower the San Jose location?

Yes, The San Jose location is the post market tower.

Regards,

Is this advertising still meant to be misleading? HE is not TIER1 !.

Dave,

This post is not misleading at all. HE.NET is a TIER1 provider.

This means that through Hurricane Electric you can get to the other networks directly so the average path is 2 networks to get to any location on the Internet anywhere.

HE.NET is directly connect to over four hundred fifty (450) major national and international Internet networks. They directly connect to AT&T, Level(3), Akamai, XO, Verio, Abovenet, Earthlink, Broadwing, MSN, etc. and most any major network that you can think of. They directly connect to and exchange traffic with most all major networks in order to increase the speed of data transfer by sending data directly to its destination.

Since when that becomes definition of Tier 1? I am sorry, but you do not know what a Tier 1 means. Tier 1 providers are settlement free. They do not pay anything to direct traffic to other network. HE purchases transit from the providers you mentioned, cheap perahps. But certainly not free.

And that makes them Tier 1? :eek:

I would like to buy Tier 1 bandwidth for $10/MBps and I was interested by your thread until I see that you are using the title incorrectly. HE is by no means Tier 1, and until you correct your ad title, it's a misleading ad. At least, I was misled.

Again, not accurate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_1_carrier

A Tier 1 carrier is a telco or internet service provider that is at the top of the telecommunications peering and settlements food chain. Although there is no formal definition, the following statements generally hold:

Tier 1 operators typically have operations in more than one country
Tier 1 operators own and operate their own physical networks, and either own or part-own their international submarine cable links.
Tier 1 operators have revenue-neutral peering agreements with other tier 1 operators in the same market, and generally do not pay for transit.

HE.NET Is a Tier1 one by this definition.

LOL ....

Anything using wikipedia to base their information needs some rethinking. Anybody can freely edit wikipdeia information, and you trust such as your source? Here, I just changed the Tier 1 definition on wikipidea.


Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_1_carrier

A Tier 1 carrier is a telco or internet service provider that is at the top of the telecommunications peering and settlements food chain. Although there is no formal definition, the following statements generally hold:
* Tier 1 operators have revenue-neutral peering agreements with other tier 1 operators in the same market. Furthermore, it is widely accepted rule of thumb that Tier 1 operators do not pay for transit.


Also, why are you trying to hide other information from your own source? Here is the rest of the information:


A given Tier 1 operator might only be considered tier 1 in a particular market or markets (typically a country or geographical area). For example, Telecom New Zealand are undeniably tier 1 in New Zealand, but much too small to peer neutrally with Tier 1 operators in the USA.

For a list of Tier 1 carriers, see List of tier 1 internet service providers.

List of tier 1 ISP across the world: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tier_1_internet_service_providers)

The following are Tier 1 ISPs (in alphabetical order):

* AT&T
* AOL Transit Data Network (ATDN)
* BBN/Genuity
* British Telecom (BT)
* Cable & Wireless
* Connect Internet Solutions
* Deutsche Telekom
* Global Crossing
* Level 3
* NTT / Verio
* Primus Telecom
* Optus
* Qwest
* Sprint Corporation
* Telstra
* UUNET (subsidiary of MCI)
* Verizon
* Williams Communications


HE is not TIER1 provider by any definition.

BTW, some other thing. Again, from your own source:


Tier 1 operators have revenue-neutral peering agreements with other tier 1 operators in the same market


HE does not have reveneu-neutral peering agreement with other Tier 1 operators in US, e.g. ATT, UUNet, Sprint, etc. UUNet, ATT, Sprint, etc will laugh at HE's face if HE askes for reveneu-neutral peering agreement with them.

Let's face it. HE is a good provider, but not a TIER1 by all means.

Anyway, I am done with this. I had hoped to buy $10/Mbps of Tier1 bandwidth, but all I see is somebody's own confusion/misunderstanding.

Buyers beware. You are not getting Tier1 bandwidth.

We can agree that we do not agree.

Its pointless to continue this discussion as neither the "change" you made to to my quote or the fact that wikipedia only list SOME Tier1 ISP's does not prove your point in any way.

You have incorrectly quoted wikipidea ... check again.

Can you ask HE own network engineers and see if they themselves consider HE TIER1?
