serveurDEDIE measures connectivity to CH operators from its multi-connected hosting center in Washington DC, USA. We publish monthly and yearly reports available online with a subscription. If you are not familiar with our reports, please check our methodology and interpretation notes. The TBS computation unit is a corrected transmitted packet rate which takes into account unavailability.
This report is based on the first 6 months measurements (Oct 1999 - Mar 2000) for CH. A 2000 report will be available in early 2001. Operators selected for this analysis are: EUnet-CH, IP-Plus, Switch, Global-One-CH, Sunrise, TIC, The-Net, CW-Petrel, UUnet-CH, PSInet-EU-CH, Cablecom, UCS, Internet-access

The silver medal is granted to IP-Plus (AS3303), a swisscom company. IP-Plus maintains a web site which should be a model in the industry, with a very high level of transparency toward his customers. A must-see.
The bronze medal is granted to Cablecom (AS8404), an NTL Incorporated company. Cablecom is one of the few internet operators on cable that provide high quality internet.
A special notice for PSInet Europe Switzerland which obtains the highest transmitted packet rate over the period with 99.39%. Despite this, PSInet does not reach our top-3 because of unavailability problems in November.
After those 3 performance leaders, our chart lists 8 good quality operators that score over 97 points average. Namely: UCS, Switch, Internet-access, CW-Petrel, TIC, PSInet-EU-CH, Sunrise, The-Net
Below 97 points average, we find two operators providing medium quality from our hosting center that still score over 96 points, the level under which we recommand avoiding operators.
Those results indicate that the Switzerland market globally has a good connectivity quality with few medium quality operators.
Commercial usage of those results require the acquisition of a licence. Data protected under the french copyright and database laws.

| The left graphic is the TBS computation chart (corrected % transmitted packets). The right graphic is the raw transmitted packet rate. For each operator the graphics show the mean month value (blue diamond), the lowest value (red circle) and the highest value (green triangle). The graphs are sorted by mean value. | |
