DSL Outage continues. We have isolated the problem to an ATM switch and are replacing some hardware on that device. We hope to have things up and running later today (Saturday). Thanks for your continued understanding.

The Metro Ethernet Value PropositionFebruary 1, 2010Nashville, TNUntil recently, a company's last resource for high speed bandwidth was a DS-3 or OC-3 circuit. A DS-3 was typically priced between $2500 and $3500 per month. OC-3's were typically in excess of $5000 per month.Metro Ethernet was introduced to fill the void between a T1 (DS1) circuit and a T3 (DS3). It is usually deployed via fiber,

PPPoE Gateway problemWe had an issue with PPPoE negotiating the gateway address as 0.0.0.0 instead of the proper value. This was causing issues with local VPNs and routing. We removed a feature on our core router and the problem has gone with it. In particular, this affected customers with airport extreme's and customers doing vpns within our network.

Goodbye T1, here comes Metro Ethernet. 2006 will mark the year of Metro Ethernet.
