Ormuco isn't an ISP, its a Data Solutions Provider. The 2 are completely different.

Yes and they also provide the fiber connection to the data centers where the Game Servers are hosted. In either case, Ormuco is who SE directly has to deal with, if they went with someone else, they'd deal with them, not Level3.

Im not arguing your opinion on level 3, its yours.

I'm arguing that a datacenter for a major MMO isn't a one stop shop solution or unlimited. Since you believe SE is not a responsible party, please show me that in their contract with Ormuco.

You and I don't have the contract, therefore do not know the limitations and parties responsible outlined in that contract.

Hi again ReplicaX. You are correct, it is impossible for us to know exactly the contract states as far as responsibility is concerned. No matter what, though, I can't imagine, even given these circumstances, that a company would completely drop their Data Solutions service and prepare a new one, especially given such a short amount of time. The overhead would be astronomical as opposed to letting them handle it at their time. No matter what, it is going to take awhile to fix, imo.

........But this is all just speculation on my part. I'd like to believe that major companies know how to handle these scenarios professionally, but I could be completely wrong. I only regurgitate what I already know from personal experience
