well, i guess it could have gone through europe after dca to get to
their xo peering. i guess the root cause is that roadrunner is poorly
peered. are they not actually twt?

randy

I think they are twc which is not twt.

Jared Mauch

I think they are twc which is not twt.

uh doh. sorreee

Nope. TWT vs TWC.

TWT spun off from TW in 1998 or 9 if I remember. TWC ala RoadRunner is a build out of what was left of TW's residential footprint and services. RoadRunner also supports portions of old TWC plant that was sold off to Brighthouse Communications.

Tom

for what is worth twc sucks
