Uh oh. 26.4 is the most feared connect rate in all of telecom. It usually
means line muxing by your telco, and it is a sucky thing.
We have a two towns that pipe through one CO that is connected to it's
upstream by a hunk of junk digital carrier module. Everyone that goes
through that CO gets all traffic leaving that CO (like to us, for example)
whacked down to 26.4.
So why not put a remote POP in that town with digital lines, you say?
Because T-1 services come from an upstream CO, so even with a T-1 and PM-3
physically in that town all calls still leave that CO to go to the CO that
handles T-1 services, right out that same DCM, and they would still get
26.4 connects.
Pretty sad, eh?
This looked like a PM-user list question, so I piped my reply over there.
