my penny's worth

We were using both MCI and UUNet  T-1 conections for our Net Connect.

It may have taken us a while to get the BGP routing correct (Thank you
UUnet), as well as the MCI routing regisrty and maintainer objects
correct (Thanks again to UUNET)  but once up we had VERY FEW Problems
with transmission or reception.  If I am not misteken I seem to
remember our average packet loss somewhere around  19% - 22% whis I
though was excellent.

We have since cancelled the MCI Link and are sticking with UUnet (who
has there own problems as well at times.)

I would be interested in hearing more of the areas where the  MCI
backbone connections that everyone here says are so bad are , as well
as those of  WilTel (who Im pretty sure UUNet uses quite a bit).
