I'd say if there's a strong financial reasoning (or greed some times) behind a complaint, it will be brought up, otherwise shouldn't it be all based on civil talks and agreements anyway? On Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 6:57 PM, keith tokash <ktokash () hotmail com> wrote:
I'm sorry I should have been more specific. I'm referring to the *percentage* of a circuit's bandwidth. For example if you order a 20Mb site to site circuit and iperf shows 17Mb. Well ... that's 15% off, which sounds hefty, but I'm not sure what's realistic to expect. And beyond expectations, I'm wondering if there's a threshold that industry movers/shakers generally yell at their vendor for going below, and try to get a refund or move the link to a new port/box.To: ktokash () hotmail com Subject: Re: Industry standard bandwidth guarantee?

And where your PoPs are (and how many) matters as well - if you have apeeringagreement with another carrier, and you exchange 35Gbits/sec of traffic,thebandwidth at each peer point will depend on whether you peer at onelocation,or 5, or 7, or 15.....
