From Dr David Anderson - Director of SETI@Home today;

You're welcome to tell people about our 100 Mbps pipe.
We had a lengthy meeting this morning with the Campus Network Services
office, and it looks like it's all going to work, though it turns out
that want to charge us another $1K/month for using the link from
Berkeley to Palo Alto, where we connect to Cogent.
But that's still a lot less than $6K/month for 20Mbps on Qwest.

So.... think we'll fill that up too?


Ah, to hope...to dream...

They should go with the deal! I mean look at the difference here, 100mbps for 1K, and their currently paying 6K for, 10mbps!

I hope so!

They didn't post the rest of the e-mail. Well I will fill you guys in. Berekley heard about the four horsemen and bought that line just for us to us. We will fill it for them. Just check our stats this weekend :)
