11/4    And you people didn't belive shit^H^H^Hprintlink could be worse
        than BBNPlayNet...
        \_ This new connection is a joke, right? No one could believe
         this incredibly shitty lossy connection works, could they?
         I get better reliability and access time bouncing off
         the satellites to Antartica!
        \_ Anyone who said that the BBNplanet connection sucked has been
           living in SpoiledBratLand for a looong time. It's my theory
           that we switched to SprintNet because the campus decided it
           couldn't afford BBNplanet any longer and went with a cheaper
           service. (Sprintnet...)    -- Marco
         \_ It's not a theory - it's what actually happened (except
            that the reason we couldn't afford BBNPlanet is that they
            jacked up the University's rates when they went for-profit
              compared to what the non-profit BARRnet was charging one
            of it's co-founders).
          \_ Not to mention that all the UC campuses in Northern
             California will go out of one DS3 connection through
             SprintLink instead of individual connections for
             each campus individually.  Even UCOP which had been
             a CERFNet POP is now on the same SprintLink
             connection.  I mean even the CSU system has a
             CSUNet, where's the UCNet?!?
             \_ There is a UCNet inArticle Unavailable
