Help me Ping

Hey guys,

I'm looking at setting up a colocated game server in Colorado at Level3's datacenter and I was wondering if you could help me out.

If you could: ping ns1.Denver1.Level3.net a couple times and report the ping average, your city/state, and ISP.

Thanks for the help! 😀

What do you mean?

My server had the best pings of all the ones posted here. Make sure you look at the "time".

CobraBubbles:
My server is located in Texas (ThePlanet) with 8 GigE connections. 😉
My personal computer is located in Florida... just on a 512/128 DSL line.

I was already logged into the server already and decided to help the guy out. Is that so wrong? I've used root for as long as I can remember and haven't had any problems. I know I should probably setup different user accounts, but I don't feel like it right now.

If the remark wasn't meant how I took it, then disregard the message above...
