Peering is critical to business Internet performance. Specifically, local peering. Always check whether an ISP peers at an optimal location to reduce latency. Latency impacts basic tasks like uploading images to the more complex, such as VPN or database connections.

When it comes to sending data or packets, latency is crucial for business needs. Lower latency means more efficient Internet performance. Latency can usually be improved in two ways; one is to tweak routing for more direct paths. This is possible with Internet connectivity which has more direct peering near an on-ramp, rather than via a long distance aggregation point. The other way to optimize for lower latency is via local peering. It ensures faster Internet service. Local SF Bay Area Internet Service Providers like Fastmetrics are focussed on optimal peering. This is an afterthought for most nationwide ISPs.

Faster Internet is determined by an Internet Service Provider's regional interconnection. Today, efficient connections to cloud based services are critical. Fastmetrics peers directly with Google and Amazon (plus others) to ensure the shortest, most direct paths.

To reduce Internet bottlenecks, we recommend a traceroute command. This is a simple check. See if your ISP has connectivity with minimal hops to your target destinations, like cloud based CRMs, AWS, Azure or other cloud platforms.

Fastmetrics ISP Reviews

Fastmetrics service and live support reviews;

There are really three reasons that we chose to partner with Fastmetrics. First is upload speed which is critical for everything that we do in the cloud. Second is bandwidth, especially to support our creative services around voice and video and then finally is support, quality support and local support


I cannot tell you how impressed we are with your service. Allen is extremely competent, and had everything running like a clock with zero downtime. I'm in awe with how well everything is set up and working together between the desk phones, the web dialer, the phone apps. It's all extremely fast, concise, and intuitive. We couldn't be happier and more excited to have found you. Thank you very much for everything you've done for us.


Great customer service, wicked fast internet at an incredible price, and a pleasure all around from installation to maintenance and beyond!
