    Peer 1?

    Hello all. Brian here.

    I know nothing about bandwidth, so I need to ask a couple of questions.

    Is the Peer 1 network good for bandwidth (reseller plan)? Also, will it make much difference if the servers are in Canada, and me and my clients are US based?

    The company gave me an IP to Ping? How do I do that? And how do I know if it is good?

    Peer1 has, to the ebst of my knowledge, a good reputation as a bandwidth supplier. I am on a machine using their bandwidth and it has been reasonably fast and reliable. I'll leave it to any of their more direct customers here to comment.

    Is should make little differrence to your business where the servers are actually located as long as it is a reliable sata centre.

    You type at a console prompt (or at the dos prompt in windows)

    ping (the ip number they gave you)

    This should result in something that looks similar to the following:


    ping 207.218.223.148

    Pinging 207.218.223.148 with 32 bytes of data:

    Reply from 207.218.223.148: bytes=32 time=167ms TTL=46

    Ping statistics for 207.218.223.148:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
    Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 163ms, Maximum = 167ms, Average = 165ms


    The IP btw, is www.webhostingtalk.com.

    What you look for are the time value primarily. The lower the better.

    They have stable pings and good uptimes. Ya they are pretty good.

    I'd have to second the comments about Peer1 being good and reliable.

    Response time to emails is good as well.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers.
