The problems experienced have to do with a problem with one of the OC-12 lines supplied by Verizon to our hosting facility. It's intermittent and they are aware of the problem.
TDR's hosting facility is one of the best in the world and has among its neighbors some Yahoo servers. The facility has a couple OC-48's, several OC-12's, T3s and T1 lines. 99. 9999% of the time (except when there are equipment problems), bottlenecks are due to a lack of bandwidth between you and TDR, not at TDR's facility.
The facility is 1 hop from the "backbone. " Few facilities can claim that. TDR wanted the best for its users. A lot of research went into picking the facility.
