My recollection is that UU was doing 95th back in 94 or so. They definitely were. At my first ISP job, we had a usage based UUNet T1 that was billed according to 95th percentile traffic...but once you started using much of a T1, it was cheaper to just switch over to their flate rate "full T1" pricing. This was back when you could run a small ISP and take a full news feed on a single T1 and not fill it. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *[email protected]*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
