Yes, there's this trend where various tiers providers want to control things
beyond what's called for, thus limiting access. I'm just discovering that
Verizon is interfering with traffic between two verizon accounts. Just simple
ssh traffic. Every so many seconds it just lags for so many seconds. Over and
over...

When people get the idea to alter the way the Internet is working everybody
else looses. Do you remember when Network Assoiciates changed the default
behavior when not finding a web address? They stuck in their own "service"
rather than the standard error message. That messed up a lot of debugging
tools. Instead of a failed web page you hit a valid web page, as if you got
where you were trying to go.

Ugh is definitely right!
