you all would share your experiences with it. By long-haul I mean in the hundreds or thousands of miles. I need to know:
a. Does it work properly?
b. Who offers it in the continental US?
-I'm going to take a stab and assume that you're actually more interested -in finding a longhaul line with GigE on the ends, and not so much how many -miles you can get with whatever optics... Absolutely right, I don't care what's in between as long as I have GigE at the end. Other options include using wave (too expensive), or ethernet over MPLS (worth considering although latency may be too high for longer that 1000 miles). GP
