That's the best I've heard so far... unfortunately it's a big telco here
in Canada and getting someone to look into it is always the issue.. I'm
seeing packet loss as well (not sure if I mentioned that yet) and they
claim they don't see it... but we do every night when the traffic starts
to pickup...

Back on the phone with Bell again..;)

Thanks for the response...
