Go to your average university of any reasonable size and you'll find this kind of connectivity (or more) both to Internet1 and Internet2 or to some sort of state/regional research network which links them up to that. Many of the larger schools are on dark fiber rings and they have the ability to soft patch locations directly together at very high speeds.

It's not ludicrous for a LAN/WAN, of course... but that's a reasonably beefy uplink to the Net, which is what Mark asked about. I believe NIH here has an uplink in that speed range, but I don't touch it directly. -sc From: David W.
