If they did go through the US (as some do), would you still consider them a "Canadian Web Host"?

Just as a follow-up to our chat tonight, I am starting a list of
Canadian web hosting companies:

I have them but I wonder if they go through the US to get to me.
Traceroute didn't show any host names,


Personally speaking, the "travels through US" isn't really relevant, as:

a) traffic ought to be encrypted en route
b) traffic from here (Vancouver) to Ottawa, etc. is virtually always going through the US.

That is, it's nigh impossible to have your VPS accessible to all of Canada without US transit.


Sadly.


We need redundant trans-continental fibre lines, with branches to all the major urban centres, further feeding municipal FTTH providers nation-wide.


/my opinion + 2ยข == $0.02


Would like to hear others' thoughts on US transit...
