I used to work for an American company whose offices are in Swindon. Access
to US web sites and ftp sites was teriffic, especially when compared to
what I experienced over Janet in my student days after nsfnet was abolished
and commercialised. Access to UK sites was pretty dreadful, though. Because
the company I worked for had its european HQ in belgium, we had a leased
line to belgium (Kessel-Lo). From there, they had a link to their offices
in Menlo Park, California. At this site, they had a link into bbnplanet,
and I think they still do. Many american companies with offices in europe
have all their external IP connectivity through a connection in the USA.

Now I'm back in academia again, and things are exactly the opposite!
