I would guess it is PSI.  They are trying to see exactly how much traffic they can force to other networks by pre-pending and probably (I don't know how their routing is setup) setting lpref on the c&w sessions to their lowest possible.  Then they will know what traffic is only available through c&w.  Then they will prob see how many of these people they can peer directly with or sell services to during the 60 day continuation.

To all:
   
    I just got off the phone with Cable & Wireless.  A 60 day continuation of peering with PSINET was reached last night.  The peering is back up and we can now find PSINET DNS server again.  More on this as I am made aware.
