what the HELL, verizon??

you are giving me a handoff that's ... TEN MEGABIT ON A MM FIBER LINK?

i'm not sure i've *got* anything that will speak on fiber at only 10M.

HELL, 1996 CALLED, IT WANTS ITS BANDWIDTH BACK.

i've got some new connection coming in where they handle bundling several WAN circuits and drop a mux on each side of the link and hand it off to us as ethernet. this is great in the couple of places i already have it.

okay, it's a little last-century that their handoff is a 10M/full copper connection, but hey, backwards compatability is there to handle the telcos, right?

but the newest one, it's all special and has a fiber output instead of copper. but it's still 10M/full.

so now i'm trying to figure out if it would be faster to get them to change their mux or for me to find some damned thing or other that'll speak 10M on a multimode fiber link.

WHAT THE HELL, PEOPLE.

Good lord. I think I have some 10BT/FOIRL devices but you would have to wind them up with a key.

That's not even T3 speeds.

I guess BACKWARD compatability is out the window, and it's time for FORWARD compatability. You want 10 gigabit with that? No problem.
