We ordered a DS3 to UUnet last July, and after several blown FOC dates, we finally started passing packets last night. (And man, nothing like 2 ms latency and being able to measure downloads in MB/s.) Thank god the circuit is quality, or this would be an entirely different post. UUnet was amazingly slow: 7+ months to terminate a DS3 to Frederick, MD, 50 miles north of their world headquarters. [ snip ] Remember that post I made a bit back that was supposed to be a personal note regarding an OC12? I have my OC12 with an FOC of March 15, 10 days ahead of my six weeks. I also have a lot of confidence in the ability to deliver it on time. It took me awhile, but the part about being the squeaky wheel is very true and accurate. Sucks, but that's the way it is. Sorry for posting so much today. Ahem. Last One. -M Regards, -- Martin Hannigan [email protected] Fugawi Networks Engineering Boston, MA http://www.fugawi.net Ph: 617.742.2693 Fax: 617.742.2300
