Yes, the network is, and always has been great. (well, except for 
that one little blip a couple of weeks ago...) In our seven year 
relationship we were always impressed with the the NOC staff and 
support group at UUnet.

However auditing their invoices was always an exercise in 
frustration. Circuits that were long-ago cancelled re-appearing time 
and time again, blatant overcharges, completely incomprehensible 
account number changes. I used to think it was incompetence or 
confusion caused by growth and acquisitions (having some personal 
experience with the latter.) I guess it has been recently revealed as 
felonious behavior. I'd be a fool to go down that path again.

I'm sorry to say but, I'll be officiating ice hockey games in hell 
before doing business with UUnet again.
