well netcom had something mangled pretty badly.. its betterish now, but
not 100% there. My upstream is currently 10mbps to UUNET, 10mbps
Mae-houston, 10mbps phoenix.net (to hook up to c-net or e-net or something
- its a south-american network), 3mbps to MCI/Sprint via fibr.net, and
either has or soon to have a T1 to BBN Planet.

the link between UUNET and Insync was a bit flanky saturday, but I
tracerouted and found we were going through fibr.net and there was little
lag across the link to on the trip to netcom until we hit netcom's
network.

So, netcom is lame, what kind of news is that? :)
