Why Iburst has been cruddy

Their additional bandwidth is from UUNET, not IS. I've spoken to several staff and all said UUNET. I doubt WBS would break ties with UUNET this early in the game unless there is some real trouble.

Like Sentech changed their providers several months in... but WBS have UUNET as one of their partners on their website...

Hmmm, I was told IS, and personally I would prefer that it were IS - it's called not putting all your bandwidth eggs in one basket - and depending on the contract with UUNET, WBS could [over time] force UUNET & IS to compete with one another for their business! From the 196.30.31.100 peer it is clear that UUNET still provide the core link ATM, however that could change if WBS gets a better price/service from IS.
