Funny you should mention this. I have a 45MB/s feed to UUNet in Dallas, and have had for years. Probably a year ago I had a UUNet salesman call me out of the blue saying he was now responsible for my account, and I should be talking to him for all of my UUNet related business. However, according to WorldCom, and more specifically my WorldCom sales rep, I was still supposed to go through WorldCom for my UUNet dealings. Can you say comi$$ion? About two months back, I got a flyer from UUNet, with a new person claiming to be my sales rep. Again, the WorldCom rep I have states she should be our primary contact for UUNet business. Personally, I think the UUNet feed I have is excellent, but it would be nice to see a bit more UUNet-WorldCom coordination. It's leaving those of us in the customer community confused.
