[c-nsp] OT? Feedback on TWC upstream b/w

[Steven Bertsch]

Firstly, Time Warner Cable and Time Warner Telecom are two
completely different animals.

We have such a connection from Time Warner Telecom for upstream
bandwidth and it has been very reliable.   I have only experienced one
outage in the last >2 years that we've had the service.

The customer premise equipment, in our case, is a Cisco Catalyst
3550 series with two GBIC uplinks running fast spanning-tree.

We are running BGP4 with them as well, but I can't comment as
to the competency of their techs since I've never had reason to call
them, apart from turn-up which went quite well.
