Proficient Networking

Friday, September 7th, 2007

So recently we’ve made lots of strides to improve our network quality. Just today we’ve enabled BGP peering with Microsoft over the NYIIX. The hits keep coming. Over the course of the next 6 weeks we will be fully integrated and moved over to the giant network infrastructure we’ve been preparing for and spending lots of money on. I can’t wait to see the overall improvement and, lets be honest, the return on investment of this gear.

Until then, you stay classy, readers.
