On further scrutiny, AS6453 connects me straight from Palo Alto via San Jose to London to Kenya.
Is it true that Tata owns AS6453??? Brian??? Can I be put on 'Seacom' straight from Silicon Valley????
Look at http://as6453.net/ and ARIN's WHOIS search confirms: Tata Communications (AS6453) AS6453 6453 Tata Communications (AS6453) AS6453 6453 # ARIN WHOIS database, last updated 2009-07-28 20:00 # Enter ? for additional hints on searching ARIN's WHOIS database. To get onto SEACOM straight from Silicon valley you probably need to have connectivity with a Tier 1 or Tier 2 provider in the USA who can do a cross-connect directly with Seacom. You could probably get this directly from Tata as they have significant network assets in the US. Brian

As usual Michael, you are right! I did a traceroute (connected on Onecom/Safaricom)
As you can see it hops into London and gets onto AS6453 in London which belongs to Tata.
Am in San Francisco (Stanford) at the moment and I did a traceroute back to Kenya (Safarciom) and the loop back also goes through AS6453, which Brian says belongs to Tata. Times are indeed changing.....
