I think Dave has the right idea here. Given the lousy overall network performance that I (and others) are often seeing for months from varieties of service providers, I think the service providers should be forced to provide rebates. I frequently have 10% packet losses to get from where I am to the Bay area (via New York). And my service provider (CERFnet) is telling me that their service provider (Sprint) is not even answering to their trouble reports.
Well, I think the problem is that providers lock people in 1 and 2 year contracts so if people get bad service they are stuck. That is why I only have month to month service, if people don't like there T1 then they can quit. I think we need more providers to do that, I know of a lot users that are on providers that want to switch, but have 8 months left on their contract. Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.
