Let's add a very important line: "Then They Came for the OC-3 or smaller connections and I did not speak out because I run fat OC-12 - OC-48 pipes" It's my guess that the "top providers" that ignore cries for help because they can sink the traffic (and bill for it) without breaking a sweat will one day find themselves without a plan and without a clue when the Kiddiez come pounding down the door with something that can saturate their pipes and bring a major customer down. I hope we don't have to wait until that time comes around to figure out how to cooperate. > Now we have clear evidence that there are no less than three who > understand the threat. Heh. Why things like this don't scare everyone on this list sh*tless is beyond me. If anyone ever sees garbage coming out of 8059, hit the [email protected] address or peek at Jared's list for phone info.
