I would vote with Matt & Vince on this one (and not just because it is in Boulder :-). We just spent the last couple of days looking through pre-transition transfer statistics into our data archiver at the PSC and trying to figure out what sort of bandwidths our users have been getting. Several of our larger faster users are now coming in through non-NSFnet connectivity. Prior to the transition, some had average performance > 1 Mb/s and one was even floating around 3 Mb/s. As we started doing traceroutes, the gist of the discussion was "...bet they're not going that fast anymore". This is all anecdotal at this point, but by February, we should all have some real experience and I believe there will be lots to talk about. --Jamshid
