We use <routername>-<interface>.<site>.bbc.co.uk

e.g. rt0-POS-7-0.thny.bbc.co.uk

Others prefer to brag about the fact that they have a 2Mbit PVC on an 
OC192 fibre and put the fibre bandwidth in the name too. I don't see that 
this achieves anything other than other network operators looking at it 
and thinking "Yeah, right..."
