Congrats IS!

That's laughable.

What - are governmint now going to twist the price of international bandwidth to such a degree that IS cannot comply with contractual obligations, and effectively are countersued and die ?

I look at this kind of deal with massssssive suspicion.

who was the previous service provider?

UUNet

I suppose using Telkom would be a conflict of interest?

Big congrats to IS, sweet deal

I just wonder what's happening at poor UUNet? CEO Sacked?, Downsizing Staff, Lost M-Web, and now lost the Government as well? Those are big bucks issues....

Last i heard (about 2 months ago) they were still downsizing.

Writing is on the wall

Oh well, there goes the last of the usable SAIX-IS peering link...

Nonetheless, a big congrats to IS!
