How good is the CIX's connect?

I'm debating whether to buy a crossconnect to CIX's 7513 and use it for
UUNet traffic. I tried pushing 701 through the shared FDDI and it
crawled, but that could have been the FDDI.

Does anybody have any good experience with routing through CIX? I noticed
one of my transit providers is using it for UUNet. Does anybody know
UUNet's connection to the router and how saturated it already is?

Well I have a @Home connection right now in PA and everything going to 701
is via CIX. Some days it is ok, but the connection sucks most days.

I did a few years ago to get to sprint, but to answer your question, yes,
UUNets connection is saturated.
