look fine out here in Connecticut.

Our cable system feed (VF STB) and PC clients for OSTN are a little 
choppy up here at MTU.  (but this is also on the Merit network)  Getting

a little packet loss on Conn College and TA3 too so there may be a 
common bottleneck.  All three were good sources in the recent past.
