Just think of the MediaOne fiasco last year. They were down all the time and they received all the heat - but most often it was MRNet that was the problem. They ran the dial-up for the one-way modems and they supplied the bandwidth. MRNet's Sprint link from here to Chicago was almost ALWAYS saturated. I am sure that relationship cost the local MediaOne group lots of money. They have a "in your face" reputation with competing backbone providers.
