Incase you didn't notice, the original poster works for a Telephone Company. Such things as short distance x-connects, DS3, and other services will make the most sense as they likely have the necessary hardware and equipment to test and repair these types of cabling whereas, wireless and other cable based solutions they will not necessarily have the ability to repair at a low cost. This is not to say that I don't think that telephone companies shouldn't be looking at more fiber based CPE solutions, I suspect that this isn't something that Tom can influence. - Jared On Fri, Dec 19, 2003 at 08:49:11AM -0800, Brennan_Murphy@NAI.com wrote:

Why waste a T3 port. Run ethernet if they are that close. Don't overlook the benefit of using the old thin-net for 200m.

Hello,
A customer of ours in the next building would like 6M of Internet bandwidth from us, so we would wire a DS3 between the two buildings for connectivity.
The question is: how to we control the amount of bandwidth that we give them? Could we use rate limiting to contain the bandwdith to 6M, our would we need to get external IDSU's to do that?
Note: we have a Cisco 7206VXR router on our end. The customer has a Cisco 7513.
Thanks,
= TC
