And what I find alarming about this is that we purchase transit
service from C&W and they no longer seem to be providing transit
service that allows us to reach PSINet either directly or indirectly
anymore. We've complained to C&W. They haven't responded yet. I am
hoping that we don't need to get out our contract and read the fine
print, but it may in fact come to that. (We are multihomed so we have
some options, but that doesn't change anything in terms of the
service we receive from C&W.)
