Stupid routing	[May. 22nd, 2004\|05:10 pm] Brad Fitzpatrick
Connectivity to my house to my office (6 miles away) just went to shit. Instead of stay within Portland, we're going: Portland, to.. New York City, to.. STK (?), to... Florida, to... Russia (!!), to Seattle, BACK to... Russia..... and lost. A total of 28 routers. I guess it's cool when it does work, but this is pretty pathetic. I just want to work on my fun projects. :-( I don't even think what machines I work on when they're all normally so fast.

Those damn Russians. It's all their fault. What do they want, anyway, another Cold War?

A couple of thoughts:
1) Use the same ISP for both home and office.
2) Get the phone company to route a T-1 between the two. A T-1 shouldn't be that bad in cost and since it would just be a point to point the cost wouldn't include ISP fees. If you already have a T-1, then most phone companies give you a discount since it would be within the same cloud.
