Wed Oct 1 21:17:19 PDT 1997 — On October first we brought up a brand new T1 circuit direct to Sprintlink. This rounds out our direct connections, as we’ve now got direct fast links to the three largest backbones. This means low latency and packet loss, which translates to snappy, reliable Internet performance. This triad of circuits also means that our connectivity is sized so that an outage of any one circuit will not impact our network. Next time you’re shopping for ISPs, ask ‘are you connected directly to the big three?’
