Hi Thomas

First of all - it might be a place to ask for help, if it was a Swiss peering or routing problem. Given the traceroute you posted, it doesn't look like there's much that can be done in Switzerland.

On 2nd thought... as VDSL customer, you're on "best effort" and have no guarantees that anything will work at all. In Forex trading (that's what this seems to be about), we're talking about miliseconds in which deals change and need to be placed - network latency is *THE* big issue for trading companies. They'll pay tenthousands a month just to get a milisecond less of latency. So if your customer is serious about Forex trading, he should lose this VDSL and look into some real uplink.

Good luck,
Viktor

Hi

a customer got problems with an application (trading tool) downloading from a server in the USA (206.106.137.3). A traceroute below.

Responsetime of hop 12 (80.91.251.98) is much higher than hop 11 (80.91.249.113) and a ping test did show lost packets on hop 12 but not on hop 11.

the same application runs fine with a http proxy at LayerOne (init7), a proxy on a hosteurope vps or on a Cablecom connection.

Is this the right place to report such a problem and aksing for help?

Thank you!
