For the uninitiated, does anyone know what these terms exactly refer to:

"Level3 DS3/Oc3, MCI Oc12, and Globix Oc3 on the way."

I think the carriers of the lines are independent of the actual speed levels. Correct me if I am wrong here.

ie MCI could provide a DS3, OC3, OC12 etc. etc.

Sounds a lot like VDI's network. No. Sounds EXACTLY like VDI's network. :)

Just to clarify, Learner's original quoted line means the network connections are DS3/OC3 provided by Level 3, an OC12 provided by MCI, and an OC3 provided by Globix ("on the way" just meaning it was not yet operational at the time of writing).
