Let's add a very important line:
"Then They Came for the OC-3 or smaller connections
and I did not speak out
because I run fat OC-12 - OC-48 pipes"
It's my guess that the "top providers" that ignore cries for help because
they can sink the traffic (and bill for it) without breaking a sweat will
one day find themselves without a plan and without a clue when the Kiddiez
come pounding down the door with something that can saturate their pipes
and bring a major customer down. I hope we don't have to wait until that
time comes around to figure out how to cooperate.

Heh. Why things like this don't scare everyone on this list sh*tless is
beyond me.
If anyone ever sees garbage coming out of 8059, hit the abuse@ address or
peek at Jared's list for phone info.
