Well, since we do have Annex M extensions turned on, you're right. However,
I don't think I've ever seen near this level of line utilization on
Sonic.net. I have munin setup on pony at 2169 that polls SNMP on the Soekris
facing Sonic.net. Check out

you're in the space (or modify /etc/apache/conf.d/munin to allow
yourself).

We've sometimes spiked to 10 Mbit down, but it usually hovers around 4 -
6Mbit down.

That's been my experience too. I've been getting much better speeds over
Monkeybrains from home, and that's to a site that isn't even backhauled over
fiber. That makes me wonder how much of that differential is due to NAT
craziness.


IMO -- if Comcast can deliver a better circuit for the same money they
should get some of our business.
