>>The only real fix for this type of problem is to have private peering set up between Sprint and Home networks. There you have it, ladies and gents. SI can get a bigger pipe, and it won't matter. You can have a screaming fast cable modem, and it won't matter. If you're going to aggregate traffic in a big way, you've got to pony up and establish a peering relationship with the major backbones. The MAES (Metropolitan Area Ethernet Systems if memory serves) simply are not up to the job. We need a lot bigger intersections, and a lot more of 'em. That means fiber (QWST) and fast routers and switches (VTSS). <ggg>
