Well this seems to be happening all across the xDSL camp as well (checked
out a provider out west who advertising 2 mbits ADSL but only had 1 T1
link).

Don't agree with that, IGS is using ONET so we are directly on the ca*NET
network and its very fast for us into the states, Our slowest links are to
IStar.  We are peered to RNS (because of ONET) but the RNS network seems
very sluggish.  We have been talking to RNS for our Vancouver expansion,
but we told them that we are hesitant due to the slow responses on their
network.
