How do carriers handle E3 to T3 conversions? What equipment is used? I
have heard that trans-Atlantic carriers sell E3s to Europeans when in fact
it is a T3 with T3 costs passed on the customer and merely convert the line
from T3 to E3 - thereby causing 11Mb/sec of b/w to be wasted. Any truth to
that?
Thanks,
Hank
