Re: Genius or Ridiculous?

Well, primarily it's the voice service that needs troubleshooting, which is harder to do in the fashion you describe. I 
just figured Internet service was cheap enough if you were already getting voice.

Although that does give me an idea on the Internet... get a line on each and then put a Mikrotik or Raspberry Pi and a 
RIPE probe on each. Then anything I could likely ever want to test, including making a testing platform available to 
the rest of the world. That isn't a very high number of test points on each of those networks.

Could you leverage the RIPE Atlas probe infrastructure to give you the answers you need? 
There are probes on Comcast (868), Frontier (15), AT&T (46), Verizon (54), T-mobile (29). 


What types of troubleshooting do you generally need to do?

Sure, but then I have to bother other people. That's what I'm doing now, but it kinda sucks asking someone else to help 
you with your job.

My current project is a voice-related project, but how ridiculous would it be to get a line of service from my 
competitors at my main office for me to do diagnostics from? Internet from Comcast, Frontier, etc. Voice from Frontier, 
Comcast, AT&T wireless, VZW, and T-Mobile? 

I'm currently in a situation where I have to engage customers (or the family of employees) to place test calls for me 
to collect data on because I can't do it any other way.
