Is this what you use? I guess I better read Bays product guide alittle closer because I don't see it? Maybe they're just pushing the 8000rac?

Are you sure your ISP's connection is a T3? Here's part of a traceroute I just ran against www.highwaygds.net (also ran one against www.toolcity.net - same results). 7 sl-bb5-pen-1-0-100M.sprintlink.net (144.232.0.121) 55 ms 44 ms 69 ms 8 sl-bb3-pen-0-0-0-155M.sprintlink.net (144.232.0.70) 184 ms 220 ms 206 ms 9 sl-bb2-dc-5-0-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.8.2) 172 ms 103 ms 59 ms 10 * sl-gw1-dc-0-0.sprintlink.net (144.228.20.3) 90 ms 82 ms 11 sl-tool-1-0-T1.sprintlink.net (144.228.23.114) 94 ms 268 ms 105 ms 12 208.0.188.102 (208.0.188.102) 122 ms 107 ms 120 ms If Sprint labels their links in meaningful way it would appear there is a T-1 circuit between you and the "Internet". If your ISP really does have T-3 service you might want to ask them to make sure that access to the major Internet NAP is not impeded by some slow link. BTW - you really have to keep an eye on your ISP as they generally oversubscribe their links. This may not be a problem during off-peak hours but it appears you are paying a premium for "priority" service (Class C @ $250/month). Of course, there could be something I'm missing - like an alternate route. You might want to run traceroute yourself.
