dont know. we are no customer of uunet. We have been there (via our former
upstream for nearly 2 years) and we know, why we left...
We had one complete routing desaster per month leading in a nearly complete
loss of connectivity for all uunet customers in ffm....

yes, that why i stated, that i dont think that this is wanted by uunet,
but shows what could happen :-)

for this..

the problem is open for 48 hours now, without response... if i would be a
uunet customer with a e1 breaking down, must i also wait more than 48 hours
for a response... and they have 24*7 and they are doing crazy things
within a netblock they dont administrate...
