What ISP are you on?
My trace to them didn't include that footprint.net stuff... I think you might be stuck behind a proxy.

Also YOU should have been the first to know. You are their 1 million dollar man :rolleyes:

So that would be a life with tomato juice, or a life with vodka or both? If there was no vodka, should he get a virgin life? Does it come with a celery stick? :stickout

maybe level3 is thinking of buying out exodus? :eek:
I doubt Level3 could buy out C&W as I believe C&W have a cash surplus than more than most!
It's on a content delivery system. That's why everyone is getting different IPs all the time, depending on which ISP u are on, you will be directed to the nearest content server. ex. Akamai

C&W has over £5billion or had :)
C&W = Smart Guys in dot.com bubble ;)
Sold lots of non-core businesses for stupid prices and then sat back and made sure their core business was profitable.
