We're looking at using Comcast's (business) transit and private ethernet services at several client locations and I wanted to see what experiences others have had regarding this. Off-list replies are preferred. Thanks, -brandon -- Brandon Galbraith Mobile: 630.400.6992
This was a timely question, as we've have a GigE fiber line with them for 6 months now. Largely, the link performs at ~999Mbit 99% of the time :) However, we've had two issues with connectivity that seem to originate from their network. The link will show up, but both sides of our fiber will show 0 frames received, and lots of transmit errors. It takes a call into the Comcast NOC each time for them to resolve it, but they've been silent on what may actually be going on. These interruptions last anywhere from 30 minutes, to the last one almost 7 hours (luckily over a weekend). Benefits to this, being Metro Ethernet, they do support tagged VLAN's, so cost to entry is low in terms of equipment and setup/support. Our link goes between downtown Portland, OR, to across the river to East Vancouver and Mill Plain. -- Brent Jones brent () servuhome net
