Wee. Sprained Link! I'd like to know why Cyberdrive claims that they are 
the "fastest" connection to the net in Cleveland with a single T-1 line 
to SprintLink and that most of the time that I connect to them (Yes, I 
have and account with most of the other providers in town) it's lagged 
beyond all reality? I routinely notice packet losses of %20 when 
connected through them and FTP ing from other sites directly on the 
Sprint Backbone.

As for the claim that they are the "fastest" access in Cleveland, I'd 
have to say it's a hogwash marketing claim.

1. They don't support any ISDN dial up as it's not available in Chagrin 
   Falls.

2. They have a single T-1 to Sprint as opposed to Multiple T-1's. (APK has
   a T-1 to MCI and OAR-Net, with PROPER BGP routing. Even EN has multiple
   T-1 lines now.)

They do however, have VERY good marketing which is something many of the 
other providers lack.

Call forwarding is a wonderful thing, is it not? Problem is that call 
forwarding adds extra hops as it bounces from switch 
to switch generally reducing the clarity and stability of the call.

Rumors are rumors. Facts are Facts. Best to stick to the later.
