thanks for the advice, everyone. the hurricane electric tunnelbroker turned
out to be very easy to cope with.

it turns out that i'm less than 20ms away across the aol-time warner
network from he's NYC peering with with them, which will probably be
hard to beat until roadrunner starts their own service.

yes, that was what i was hoping for when i originally started prodding the
road runner folks. for what it's worth, i was able to prod a lead network
engineer there w/o dealing with sales. i think the once-a-month pokes
should be aimed at sales, the engineers know they need to deal with this. i
happen to know some marketing wonks at road runner, i'll have to start
making their lives miserable.
