perhaps.  but it lacks some.  from actual research and operator
measurements, sprintlink is highly over-provisioned on the north
american backbone and to customer aggregation routers.  customer
links can easily be saturated.  and some of their peering links are
under-provisioned, as are many providers' in these tight times,
at&t included.
