It's is C&W's policy to allow a reasonable amount of time for renumbering. The policy that was in place when MCI's "logo" was on the network remains the same. Customers can work out the details by sending email to ipadmin () cw net. Ron Stear

They have been using MCI/CWfor a while,and need time to renumber their equipment, have their customers change The ISP should allow sufficient time for the renumbering process to be completed before the IP addresses are reused. However, the rep they spoke with at MCI/CW seems to feel thatthe moment theconnection is cancelled, the IP addresses may be reassigned to another customer, and they should not expect a grace period for renumbering.Thanks for any experience/info/ideas/reality checks,Hmm... About four weeks ago, before the InternetMCI->C&W sale was finalized, the policy was that MCI customers would have up to six months (as per RFC 2050 and generally accepted good practices) at such time the network space would be returned to MCI's pool. A very detailed policy paper on this was posted at: http://infopage.mci.net/Address/nonportable.html -now-
http://infopage.cw.net/Address/nonportable.html However, since the logo has changed, they have now removed ALL information regarding any grace period. Maybe someone from C&W can address this? Was this a mistake/oversight or has the policy actually changed? ...and while your're at it, can you change the incorrect billing name on our account? I'v been trying to get it done for 3+ years! :( -Robert Robert Boyle Server Co-location, Garden Networks Internet Access, 50 Diller Ave Development & Consulting Newton, NJ 07860 (973)300-9211 Ext.103 8AM-8PM Mon-Fri EST http://www.garden.net Quality Internet Connectivity Nationwide
