how Level3 as a b.w provider?

I have seen a good quality using them, Comcast uses it and I get better pings to the Datacenters that have them

And I think its one of the top global IP owners too

L3 is the top broadband provider in the world IMHO.

Level3 is numberone in my book. It has to be Level3 blend or pure level 3 bandwidth in order for me to pick a service provider now a days

We were previously on Level3 and ended up switching DC's and Backbone's - I have heard great things about Level3 - but, we just had too many issues (this was about a year ago) - they had all sorts of problems setting up an internal loop with our DC (not ours, but the DC we used) - still not sure why this happened - but, left a sour taste in my mouth - either way - I know their backbone is of great quality - So, Im just assuming this was one of those things - bad luck - whatever - dont think its the norm - but, thought it was worth mentioning...

Maybe your datacenter messed it up?

Hi Francisco - you may be right - but - I think they both were both responsible - either way - it was only a minor inconvenience - both the DC and the backbone provider are reputable - so, Im assuming it was a fluke occurance and moved on

Oh, I understand. I would have made the same thing too.

Level3 is good, I use it as well. My DC Is bringing in Internap so I am ready for that bandwidth.

Ohhhh *drools* internap is godly also .

We use L3 for one of our DS3 and we have had no problems.

They are a bit pricier than XO, but I assume that is because XO went bankrupt and is trying to get back their customer base.

You can't go wrong with L3.

Thumbs up for L3 here too.

We use level3 and I can say they are solid provider.

They are an excellent provider and have very competitive pricing.

Level 3: Their bandwidth is the best quality for connectivity within the U.S. we've had nothing but a great experience with them.

Another winner is Global Crossing. They have excellent connectivity abroad, especially to South America.
