AztecaNet Performance Comparison

In regards to the performance of our Internet Solution, here is some important comparison information on how we perform against some of the major Internet companies.

The AztecaNet Server and Internet connection outperforms the Earthlink.net provider, the Netcom.com provider, and the provider for Sakurai even though Sakurai uses the same company Pacific Bell to connect to the Internet backbone.

AztecaNet has world class Internet performance. It would be difficult for any provider to outperform us.

The AztecaNet Internet servers runs on the time tested UNIX Operating System using the Apache Web Server and Windows NT.

Here is the detailed performance analysis using the UNIX traceroute command that measures the time between different Internet nodes. Each Internet company usually has several nodes between themselves and the Internet backbone. The Internet backbone is the term used to describe the main arteries of the Internet.

The times listed are the times in milliseconds that it takes to get from node to node. AztecaNet has 4 nodes before reaching the Internet backbone.
