Does anyone have any information on a company called BROOKS FIBER COMMUNICATIONS - TEXAS? They are showing up in a couple CO's on the telcodata.us website.
I think they might have been bought out, possibly by Verizon/MCI. If anyone can share any information about this company that would be great. Nothing seems to show up in google.
Anyone got idea's STAMINUS COMMUNICATIONS? they have what kind of backbone N peering? they DC seem have a good ping for asian. I would like find somethings like STAMINUS COMMUNICATIONS Dedicated servers but I won't willing dealing with them, because they always get DDoS's! I need the servers its allowed IRC/Adult Content & Torrent etc.

View 1 Replies View RelatedStaminus Communications has been hosting a botnet forum, which distributes bots, worms, trojans, illegal clickers, and tons more, 95% of the site is illegal, and is forbidden by Staminus's provider yet they could care less as long as they get there money, I sent an abuse letter August 17th 2009, they even admitted things were illegal on the site, I pointed out several like the Google Adsense clicker bot which is highly illegal and which is nothing close to the other content hosted and/or linked to.
They are hosting unkn0wn.ws they refuse to remove the site or make them remove the illegal content which is most of the forum, which now forces me to send a letter to there provider and the cybercrime which I am now doing.
Now I guess they do not care about what they host, only if the person pays, so I guess I'm just going to expose it here for everyone to notice, because it's just going to get there data center raided over time by hosting illegal content and not removing it.
Let's see what you guys think, or what the admins have to say when they read this post.
What do you guys think when a provider does nothing about illegal content do you think it's the employee's that are at fault or the customer?

Has anyone looked into getting dark fiber verse going direct with a transport provider? How much does dark fiber cost compared to say a Gig-E transport line? What kind of equipment is needed on each end of the fiber, and how much does this equipment cost? At what point does a provider look for dark fiber verse getting transport for a Lit provider?

i want know if everyone used them?How about their support, uptime etc ?
Assuming that one was to get a local office in a town, how would someone find building or area that had a high availbility of fiber nearby, but was not a datacenter? Are their fiber maps for each big city? Does anyone have fiber maps for Houston, Texas? I would be interested in seeing these maps if possible.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a large amount of multimode fiber coiled up under our raised floor that needs to be removed. The end that remains intact is running to a SAN cabinet that is very densely populated and our vendor has suggested cutting the fiber to make it easier to remove without disturbing the remaining active fiber.
Does anyone have any experience cutting fiber in a data center environment ?
Are glass fragments or any other debris a concern ?
Me and my friend are looking to place a few servers for a soho (3 servers or so). We need advise as the incoming connectivity will be fiber so we need to know what do we need to receive that fiber, we opted to go for the catalyst 2950 for the switch but if there's a good fiber switch,
Fiber will be 10mbps.
I put this in the co-location section since I am co-locating a server that I host a few Websites on. The server is located in the Pacfic Northwest at a hosting company out there. As you may know, this is a "more remote" area of the United States.
Today, the company lost all Internet access when a Fiber optic cable went down. Not only was my stufff down but the entire hosting company was down. In 10 years of doing Internet development, I have never seen this happen to any hosting company I have worked with no matter how good or bad they were. On top of that, it happened one time last year as well.
According to my co-location provider, the problem happened a long way up stream. SO far that the lines cannot be backed up. Is this true? Could a fiber optic cable fail at some point where it cannot be switched over to another line?
I don't know if I should I believe that or not. It would seem to me that it is a matter of money and they may not have a back-up system in place if the pipe goes down. Is it possible? Who's fault is it?
who does fiber to the business parks in Troy, just off 75.

Here is the screen shot of the "mtr" running from two servers:
Server1: Fibre optic line from Tata Communication
Server2: DSL line from Tata Communications
Source servers are located in Kolkata India
Target server is located in Fremont California.
The fiber optic cable has:
A. Higher ping time and
B. Higher standard deviation
compared to the DSl line.
I just came across this listing for Corning Optical Fiber LEAF(R) on eBay [url]. I've never used optic fiber cables before and want to experiment with them for indoor and inter-floor(friend below) use. The listing says that the coating is CPC6, which is some kind of acrylic coating over the fiber.
My question is: Can the above cable be used without further sleeving or some other protection/covering over it? I read somewhere that the cable must be reinforced and covered with PVC jacket or something,
