Telescan, Inc. Wants the best access money can buy(within reason). We want to get the lowest loss connection to our customers as possible. We will shortly be triple homed with Sprint, MCI & UUnet by T1s. If I were convinced that I could find a better way to move data to and from our customers I would be moving to use those solutions. What most of the Internet access providers don't seem to realize is that we(corporate America) all still have lots of private lines for performance, security and Reliability. We are currently spending as much on private lines as on Internet access. Security is well on the way to being solved. Performance and Reliability are paramount. If we got better performance from the Internet we could move more applications and services to the net. This would mean bigger sales for our access providers. A note about reliability: A few days ago....
Just wanted to let everyone know:
MCI/Sprint/WorldCom are experiencing a fiber-cut between Detroit MI, and Wayne MI.

What happen to SONIT redundancy ??????? World class carriers without world class reliability. Maybe my choices have been poor. ASN=7201

Back in May, I sent a message out to the NANOG list asking about superficial thoughts on QoS. I also summarized received responses to list later.
Well, I'd like to pose the same question again, to gauge whether the climate has changed substantially. Please take a moment to review the original question, and feel free to respond to me personally, or to the list in general.
Thanks much,

Please send your thoughts, requirements, bitches, etc., to me personally, or preferably, to the NANOG list; it is a greater audience than myself that wishes to understand these issues.
Thanks!
