Re: How good is the CIX's connect?

...

I'm debating whether to buy a crossconnect to CIX's 7513 and use it for UUNet traffic. I tried pushing 701 through the shared FDDI and it crawled, but that could have been the FDDI.

Well I have a @Home connection right now in PA and everything going to 701 is via CIX. Some days it is ok, but the connection sucks most days.

I don't understand why @home can't get a private peering to UUnet. Both UUnet and @home got a dedicated port on the CIX router (good) but essentially are using most of that for traffic to each other. We stopped using CIX to UUnet a while ago due to flaky performance. Sanjay.
