Just two months ago I ordered from MFS/Worldcom a 26 mile point-point T-1
to connect our main sales/development office in San Francisco to our
equipment at the PAIX. No mention was ever made of bundling internet access
with it, and in fact I ordered it via a salesperson down in the San Jose
office. The price was very competitive -- in fact, it was exactly half what
Pac Bell quoted me.

If you need the name of a Worldcom sales person in San Jost that does not
suck, please email me and I'll give you her info.
