My school uses the core service havn't seen any problems with it as long as residential users wouldn't have to have the internet filters enabled, it blocks so many legit websites.

Anyone know and good sites I can use to do some reverse ping tests? I can't access command promt in school. Where you want pinging? jolt.co.uk? I'll try do them tomorrow.

Would be better if the service had the backhaul from JANET rather than Core/Azzuri has atleast some of their backhaul is from KC - I remember this from when the school I went to was on "Progrid" and the access went through a shared system with a few others schools... it was a KC IP. 212.50.183.x IIRC 

JANET also has a much faster backbone.

hee hee I like JANET   


much much quicker connection....

LOL we can't get competition in Hull, so I seriously doubt that residential customers in Hull are *ever* gonna get access via JANET which after all is a Education and Research network.

Most pointless post on these forums so far for that one Ade, sorry.

How likely do you think we will ever get access to that backbone? Realistically?

Do any ISPs provide large scale public residential access to the JANET backbone?

I'm not sure but they have PoPs all over the place, including Hull, so all a service provider would need to do is approach them for backbone access, then that ISP could terminate the traffic wherever it wished...

I am not aware of an ISP that uses JANET for backbone access but I guess it will be hidden for commercial reasons, they will just say "it's our network".

[Fastethernet]

You will not see any commercial services which connect to the YHMAN/JANET backbone ever. Their policy is quite clear that only non-profit making organisations can use the JANET network.

BT wholesale do offer internet connectivity within Hull but can only offer services to ISP they cannot/will not sell residential services.
