WOW, Ray, you seem real upset and your professionalism is similar to a 
child!
I am reading all of this stuff about FCC complaints and lawsuits.
Would you also sue Macy's or Dillards if they had your favorite shirt on 
back order or even your local car dealership if that shiney new car that 
you had on order was backordered at the factory??? 
InternetMCI does have the most technologically advanced network in the 
WORLD, with the expertise of Dr. Vint Cerf, Phil Gross and Farooq 
Hussain, some of the greatest internet minds in the world represent MCI.

MCI has run the NSFNET and now VBNS backbone for many years, the 
technological advancements with regards to backbone technology have been 
brought to you by MCI.  Many many companies derive their connectivity 
from MCI and that includes many companies you THINK are backbone 
providers (just trace route a few and find yourself at InternetMCI).

MCI won an contract to run the entire NSFNET backbone and in 1994, 
upgraded the network to 45MBPS, back then there were few commertial 
providers, MCI didn't even have a commercially released service (product) 
announced.
MCI was then awarded an contract to upgrade the backbone to 155Mbps and 
in 1995/ 1Q 1996, this upgrade has been installed.  The fact is, the 
backbone is a vital link to the overall Internet topology and an upgrade 
was imminent.  In the process of the upgrade, MCI is also upgrading all 
of our nodes (we currently have more nodes and more redundancy than any 
other provider (wholesale) in the WORLD!!!!) and based on the rapid 
expansion and sales, MCI saw the need and has taken steps (including 
spending a great deal) to upgrade the network.  During the upgrade 
process, it was necessary to suspend new orders, we didn't turn down any 
orders (exisitng and new orders are put in que and will receive port 
assignments mid April to early May) and existing service (ports) were 
uneffected.
In addition to this OC3 upgrade, there will be an OC12 upgrade in 1997.

So,
You feel that MCI sucks.... I would hope that you would consider the fact 
that this upgrade will facilitate a faster and more dependable Internet, 
allowing voice & video technologies that will greatly tax the existing 
infrastructure, and MCI is bringing this capacity to you.
So stop whining and start planning how you are going to use what MCI is 
bringing you to enhance what you bring your customers!

I would suggest that you get back with your MCI representative and ask 
that your order be put back in que!

I would be happy to assist anyone not currently working with an MCI 
representative.  Your order lead time an estimated 27 days from the mid 
April timeframe, and if you can live with this (your DNS registration and 
equipment may take a bit of time getting set up) then I would be glad to 
help you.
