In regards to the graphs displayed on this link can anyone provide information regarding the network background and services offered through the Savvis backbone? They are showing very well in the response times all around on this link and it would be helpful to hear what some folks experiences with them have been. Please reply off list as I would not "think" that this is the forum to share personal comments regarding their services.

As I stated before I do not handle abuse issues, it is not my position nor my department. There is no expense as I'm trying to do the job I'm paid for. As I think I have shown I'm willing to help with anyway I can, but I'm still going to do *my* job. -----Original Message----- From: David A.

Your right this isn't my department and it's not my place to tell them how to do their job. If Roy would like to send me a valid abuse complaint I'll make sure to forward it on or even walk it over to the abuse department supervisor. I would also like to say I'm suprised at how many people have been attacking me on/off the list for asking a simple question. I'm just trying to ensure people are able to recieve/send mail from/to charter's mail complex. I didn't think asking for some help would be a big deal (as I thought there might be some people on the list from the companies that were knowledgeable instead of having to deal with typical tier-1 support). -----Original Message----- From: Paul Bradford [mailto:paul@adelphiacom.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 1:31 PM To: Roy Cc: Hosman, Ross; nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: RE: Email Complexes Come on... what is this....
