I guess MBT has 5 major backbones for us to choose from. I heard they are going to an OC-48 pipe now on one of them, as we speak.

I still don't really know what that means, hehe, but look at this >

boost the transmission speed and bandwidth of its Internet backbone to OC-48 (2.5 gigabits per second, Gbps) the fastest type of backbone service available.

and this >

OC-48 fiber carries the equivalent of 2.4 billion bits per second, approximately 50 times faster than typical backbone speeds of T3 currently in use on the Internet

Um i got two words:

Holy guacamole !!!
