T2?  a European T2/E2 is only 2 megabits/sec, and I was led to believe
that they only exist in Europe.  Is this some special Japanese kind of T2
that you folks only have over there?  I've been around networking for
quite a while and I haven't ever run into a ~6mbit WAN circuit type
(unless you count 4 bonded T1s..)
