I've been speaking to a representative from RackForce who's told me a few things I'd like to confirm...

- They have OC192 connections and use Bigpipe and Telus
- They own their own DC in Kelowna B.C.

I've never really heard of them before and know an OC192 is expensive and not every hosting startup can build a datacenter and pipe in an OC192 line...

Any info appreciated... I'd really like to confirm before proceeding.

The exact words i got when I talked with a sales rep.

Dave: Our primary upstream is connected to a local GigE fiber network that feeds into an OC192 DWDM backbone that connects to MAE East, West,and Central.

Hope that answers your question. ;)

Bigpipe is their main provider. Telus is their backup.
