We recently upgraded from 5000/500 to 8000/800.  I don't know if we're 
using this NGN thing, but the line did have to go down for a little while 
while they made the change.  Is there any way I can tell whether or not 
we're using NGN, short of calling them to ask?

In the case that we are using it, it's been just as solid as the 5000/500 
connection we ad previously (i.e. pretty solid).

The change was a couple of months ago.

Not sure how often we get the full down, but it's definitely made a 
difference in the outgoing trafic throughput.
