Woah. OC12? He's used to working on 384k ports and 192k CIR.
I think the information is ambiguous. You can run all kinds of things
over an ATM connection. My guess is they are going to private network h
is offices over ATM, maybe give him an ethernet hand off. Who knows.
Frame prices have sky rocketed and the industry is quickly moving away
from frame in favor of VPN or other dedicated methods.
If it's a quality provider who can connect all your offices on THEIR
network, and not have to hand off to someone else, then the service
should be reliable.

ATM is fast But it will cost try going with a oc12 line

Next year our contract will be up with our current provider of
frame. I have been approached by a company that provides ATM host to
host or host to Internet access. They say ATM has no CIR and is cheaper
as a result.
We currently have 5 sites connecting back to our host site using
frame relay (384 w 192CIR).
From experience has anyone found ATM or Frame to be better then
the other....if so why?
