I do know that Verio came in and bought out Spacelab.net, which was our
provider. The color & designs of the invoices changed. All the staff stayed
the same, none of my favorite engineers were lost. Verio might be building
their "network" on top of existing local networks and then hauling this
traffic to their peering providers. Take a look at:
