but folk not at linx will not understand this 'joke'. they're lucky.
LINX and every other exchange point in Europe and several large US ISPs, and as I understand it there are other IXP's in the world that have this practise, whilst I don't think its useful, other people do.
and, from an american commercial point of view, this week's wonderful linx-ism, linx admin publicly announcing that a peer's bill is overdue, and giving their name etc., was absolutely over the top.
No it wasn't. It was done for operational reasons, I think most people would rather that they knew that one of their peers had been taken down and why that had happened in case it affected their customers. Clearly you don't feel so strongly about good customer service, I and I believe the majority of the LINX membership do believe in good customer service. You don't have any kind of involvement with other European Exchange points do you Randy? Regards, Neil.
