The hopone.net network, with a truly national reach that spans from New York through Virginia, Illinois and on to California and Washington state, is entirely Cisco advanced router based, and uses the latest equipment in a fully redundant, fully meshed, network design. Optimal routing of packets is assured through intelligent human and proprietary technology assisted deployment of BGP.  We are actively monitoring the performance of the Internet as a whole, as well as specific routes and backbones, and always ensure we provide the most optimal outgoing route. Being of a smaller scale than other comparable business models, and operating our own national network with multiple locations peering with over two hundred major networks/backbones and ISPs, ensures that HopOne transit quality is higher, as there is less overhead and the routes are more direct (less hops), and thus more efficient and ultimately, faster and more reliable. In addition to being fully redundant hardware and circuit wise, the network is also fault tolerant in the sense that it is consistently kept at under 50% utilization, which means that it is able to sustain a doubling in traffic with no performance hit, and likewise is able to easily sustain multiple link outages with no performance impact whatsoever.
