For Brazil to communicate to Europe or Asia, how do the packets get there. They go through the US on OUR networks that we PAID for...
As a test, I ran a traceroute from Bulgaria to Brazil. The packets go through New York, Atlanta, Orlando, and Miami. How is that not using what WE paid for???????
I have worked all over the world with the internet. A few months ago I was in the Republic of Georgia. To get to Kazakstan it STILL went through the US.
