PSINet/Cogent Latency

My point exactly -- I guess some people disagree...
Probably with any sort of queuing there will only be minimal packet loss
at 40mbit, but at any point one more stream can push it up to 43mbit,
and then queuing might no longer be enough... (and even if it is, can we
say lag?)

if you are measuring 40mb at five min intervals, micro peaks are pegged
out causing serious packet loss.
