IS DSL <-> Verizon peering

[JayM]

Hi everyone

Could some folks who have ISDSL please do a couple of pings/traces to the following IPs for me?: 196.31.199.5.

I'm trying to get an indication on how good the peering is before buying an account.

Thanks

Also I don't think there are any peering agreements in SA, more like paying millions for interconnects to everybodies favourite phone company.

Thanks. That looks pretty reasonable for office hours.
