[c-nsp] bonded T1s into 7206VXR

[Adam Greene]

OK, folks, here's another related question: we're trying to choose between
these bonded T1's and a 5M fiber connection, for a collocation customer in
our datacenter. The customer is slightly concerned that the bonded T1's will
provide less effective bandwidth than the fiber connection, due to the 1.5M
nature of each individual circuit.

In my experience, T1's tend to get slow when I try to push >1.35M through
them. I'm wondering if (3) bonded T1's will actually result in more like 4M
of effective bandwidth.... From that p.o.v. a single 5M circuit over fiber
might give slightly better performance.

Any experience welcome....

Thanks again for all your help
--Adam
