Hehe, I meant in the context of not having a similar condition as the OP.


L2VPNs running on someone's IP backbone sold by many as "circuits" has
many issues ... stability, MTU blackhols, random drops - and that is
pretty much the same all over the world :( 

Very unfortunate technology just to mux more users and get more $$$
from single investment.

Can't argue with you.

I suppose a lot of customers go for it because they need an Ethernet
service slower than 1Gbps, and 1Gbps via a DWDM service is pricier.

Where I've seen it be popular is in intercontinental circuits that
customers want in order to test a market with as little exposure as
possible.
