We just got a third T1, this time through UUNet and when I looked at their router configuration I got a little surprise. We ordered a point-to-point circuit that is being terminated at their detroit POP.

Now, I guess my question is: am I getting sold the brooklyn bridge here?
We only have a DS1 that is plugged into one of the Detroit routers for UUNet. It definitely shows signs that it is oversold from time to time. Ocasionally things work less than optimally, but we get good service most of the time. We are unable to push the line at full T1 much of the time. We also had some odd problems with our FR. When the circuit was nearing full congestion the LMI wouldn't get through and the cascade would react by bouncing the circuit (which bounced the BGP, etc. etc.). We finally had to shutoff LMI which causes us problems any time they decide to re-do the circuit for any reason....
