No. I was referring to packet loss due to problems here at ENTERZONE or at
FNSI.NET. God knows I we can't control what happens to a packet once it
hits that VA based ISP. I would swear that they are releaving congestion
on their internal network by load balancing between /dev/null and /dev/void
at the MAEs. (grin)

They can't. But they can weight their session with "medium Tier 1
provider" as preferred if the agreement allows until "B.T.1.P" gets a clue
or enough complaints from their peers and customers.
