quick question to those of you who have Level3 direct contracts for SIP interconnection. i'm just wondering if there is a way to NOT pay or become exempt from State and Local 911 fees.. it is becoming larger and larger every month and now is about 8% of our bill. these are just fees not e911 charges . thanks!

Technical contact at Verizon Wireless
by rmckrill＠fidelityvoice.com Aug. 2, 2013

Aug. 2, 2013

Was hoping to find someone out there that might have a contact within Verizon Wireless that could assist in a resolving a voice quality (static) issue on calls outbound from VZW, inbound to L3/GBLX in the Cleveland, Ohio market. Anyone able to contact me off-list with some info or recommendations on resolution? The trouble has been isolated to be outside of L3/GLBX's network and obviously AT&T is unwilling to research the problem further. Thanks in advance!

Level3 Issues?
by april＠teliax.com Aug. 2, 2013

Aug. 2, 2013

Hi PE, We've had a circuit down with L3 for about a day and a half in downtown Denver -- there are at least a few other customers off that same switch and their ckts are down too. I'm waiting to see if the L3 guy who roams this building is around today since their NOC seems to be...kind of unhelpful at the moment. Wouldn't be surprised if Intelepeer was showing down in Denver over L3, they're just down the street...('cause you know geographical location matters SOOO much with these issues) :)

Level3 issues?
by peeip989＠gmail.com Aug. 2, 2013

Aug. 2, 2013

We lost connectivity to a dozen Level3 voice gateways, plus one to Intelepeer. Given the simultaneous nature, I gotta assume this is an IP routing issue, not a voip gateway issue, yet our interface and BGP routes with L3 appear sound. Anyone else seeing this, or are we the lucky ones? Also heard that Time Warner is having some issues. Possibly related?

Anyone using the NV3430 on T1?s with hosted phone behind Broadsoft? Would you like to share some notes and review of your experience so far please? I am also looking for some insight on using Ncommand on a VM and the best possible collector options to gather all data off the TA9xx gen 2 box including PCASH.

Porting Fees
by tim.donahue＠gmail.com July 30, 2013

July 30, 2013

Hi all, We are re-negotiating one of our carrier contracts and we have come across a new fee that we have not seen before. The carrier is looking to include a "port away" fee for when we lose a line to another carrier. Has anyone heard of this before? (Off-line replies are welcome.) Tim Donahue

We've been using Edgemarcs for years and it's time to consider a technology refresh. What's everyone using? Looking for pros, cons, and opinions. Thanks

Unless they've recently improved it the Edgewater CLI is painful or impossible for most configuration tasks.

Debugs on the Adtran also provide diagnostics and packet capture. The TA900e series has 4xT1 of which two can be PRI and two ethernet ports. With VLANs the number of physical ports isn't usually an issue, you'll typically have a PoE switch in the mix. > Both can drop a PRI but on the Edgemarc you need to run older code. > > The Edgemarc can be a regular eth router while you are limited by the > TA908 to just one eth port.

Suggestions? I'm not aware of anything else truly ready for prime time with decent support other than the various Cisco boxes but the price point there is usually prohibitive. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV
