Hi Tom, Great post about verizon and FIOS. I have FIOS now with VOIP sunrocket...I have noticed some issues with latency. Running a VOIP diagnostic my up and downstreams were high as per the spec of the contract with FIOS but the jitter was in the trash can. I have also been using dyndns in tunneling into 443 with no problems. I should check out 25 and 80. Also below are some ping times to some of the local universities VIA FIOS. It would be interesting to see some ping times from other providers (Comcast, Verizon DSL, RCN etc) --Ted Manka --------------------------------------------------------------- DD-WRT build #23 some code portions OpenWRT and EWRT additional thanks to Cesar Gonzales, Toxic, Elektik, MBChris, Nbd, TheIndividual and all the wonderful supporters of this Project http://www.dd-wrt.com --------------------------------------------------------------- BusyBox v1.01 (2005.12.23-18:13+0000) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. ~ # ping mit.edu PING mit.edu (18.7.22.69): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69: icmp_seq=0 ttl=244 time=20.8 ms 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69: icmp_seq=1 ttl=244 time=19.6 ms 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69 : icmp_seq=2 ttl=244 time=19.6 ms 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69: icmp_seq=3 ttl=244 time=19.6 ms 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69: icmp_seq=4 ttl=244 time=19.6 ms 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69: icmp_seq=5 ttl=244 time=19.7 ms 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69: icmp_seq=6 ttl=244 time=19.6 ms 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69: icmp_seq=7 ttl=244 time=19.7 ms 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69: icmp_seq=8 ttl=244 time=17.3 ms 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69: icmp_seq=9 ttl=244 time= 19.8 ms 64 bytes from 18.7.22.69: icmp_seq=10 ttl=244 time=19.7 ms --- mit.edu ping statistics --- 11 packets transmitted, 11 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 17.3/19.5/20.8 ms ~ # ping bu.edu PING bu.edu (128.197.27.7): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 128.197.27.7: icmp_seq=0 ttl=240 time=16.4 ms 64 bytes from 128.197.27.7: icmp_seq=1 ttl=240 time=17.4 ms 64 bytes from 128.197.27.7: icmp_seq=2 ttl=240 time= 17.4 ms 64 bytes from 128.197.27.7: icmp_seq=3 ttl=240 time=17.4 ms 64 bytes from 128.197.27.7: icmp_seq=4 ttl=240 time=17.5 ms 64 bytes from 128.197.27.7: icmp_seq=5 ttl=240 time=17.5 ms 64 bytes from 128.197.27.7: icmp_seq=6 ttl=240 time=17.5 ms 64 bytes from 128.197.27.7: icmp_seq=7 ttl=240 time= 17.5 ms 64 bytes from 128.197.27.7: icmp_seq=8 ttl=240 time=17.6 ms 64 bytes from 128.197.27.7: icmp_seq=9 ttl=240 time=17.6 ms --- bu.edu ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 16.4/17.3/17.6 ms ~ # ping www.harvard.edu PING hno-webprod.harvard.edu (128.103.60.28): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=0 ttl=243 time=20.0 ms 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=1 ttl=243 time=20.2 ms 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=2 ttl=243 time=20.3 ms 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=3 ttl=243 time= 20.3 ms 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=4 ttl=243 time=20.3 ms 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=5 ttl=243 time=20.3 ms 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=6 ttl=243 time=20.3 ms 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=7 ttl=243 time=20.3 ms 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=8 ttl=243 time=20.4 ms 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=9 ttl=243 time=20.4 ms 64 bytes from 128.103.60.28: icmp_seq=10 ttl=243 time= 20.4 ms --- hno-webprod.harvard.edu ping statistics --- 11 packets transmitted, 11 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 20.0/20.2/20.4 ms ~ # ping brandies.edu PING brandies.edu (129.64.99.169): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 129.64.99.169 : icmp_seq=0 ttl=50 time=18.1 ms 64 bytes from 129.64.99.169: icmp_seq=2 ttl=50 time=18.3 ms 64 bytes from 129.64.99.169: icmp_seq=3 ttl=50 time= 18.3 ms 64 bytes from 129.64.99.169: icmp_seq=5 ttl=50 time=18.4 ms 64 bytes from 129.64.99.169: icmp_seq=6 ttl=50 time=15.8 ms 64 bytes from 129.64.99.169: icmp_seq=7 ttl=50 time=15.9 ms 64 bytes from 129.64.99.169: icmp_seq=8 ttl=50 time=15.9 ms 64 bytes from 129.64.99.169: icmp_seq=9 ttl=50 time=20.9 ms 64 bytes from 129.64.99.169: icmp_seq=10 ttl=50 time=18.5 ms 64 bytes from 129.64.99.169: icmp_seq=11 ttl=50 time= 15.9 ms --- brandies.edu ping statistics --- 12 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 16% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 15.8/17.6/20.9 ms ~ # ping neu.edu PING neu.edu (155.33.227.140): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 155.33.227.140: icmp_seq=0 ttl=48 time=15.8 ms 64 bytes from 155.33.227.140: icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=13.7 ms 64 bytes from 155.33.227.140: icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=13.8 ms 64 bytes from 155.33.227.140: icmp_seq=3 ttl=48 time=13.7 ms 64 bytes from 155.33.227.140: icmp_seq=4 ttl=48 time=13.8 ms 64 bytes from 155.33.227.140: icmp_seq=5 ttl=48 time=13.8 ms 64 bytes from 155.33.227.140: icmp_seq=6 ttl=48 time=13.8 ms 64 bytes from 155.33.227.140: icmp_seq=7 ttl=48 time= 13.9 ms 64 bytes from 155.33.227.140: icmp_seq=8 ttl=48 time=13.9 ms 64 bytes from 155.33.227.140: icmp_seq=9 ttl=48 time=13.9 ms --- neu.edu ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 13.7/14.0/15.8 ms ~ # On 4/12/07, Mark Richards <mark.richards at massmicro.com> wrote: > > Tom Metro wrote: > >>Has anyone tried business-grade FIOS and tested out their tech > >>support?
