We saw that or better growth at Flying Crocodile (aka sextracker.com)
during that period. I don't have access to the stats anymore (if they
even exist) but in two years we went from 1Mb/s to over 1Gb/s in
outbound traffic. This was 1998 to 2000ish.
It was "fun" to try to keep enough pipe and cards in the GSR12000s
even being in the Westin.
