Yep. They seem pretty incapable of routing around downed segments (is
this done by HAND?) (although they *could* do it, I've seen a map of their
network, it's redundant enough to do this..) When MCI works, from an MCI
host to another MCI host works allright.. but from here (on an ISP off MCI's
backbone) to some place on another network, it sometimes works fine, and
sometimes crawls, depending on time and on what network. I.e. they have
quite a problem with network gateways being flooded.
I used to have a connection via an ISP that went through UUNet... At
first they had no reverse DNS entries, this sloooowed down most stuff (since
most sites try to reverse DNS lookup for logs before giving a login prompt
or returning any HTML data..) but after they got that fixed, it flew. They
had good connectivity to everywhere (besides MCI 8-)
