Level 3 is one of the largest out there, we are using them and I know many other that do as well. They have seriously relaxed their interop recently so it's not the project it once was. Of course less testing can mean more problems you have to fix after a customer finds it. -Scott From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Sorensen, Marty Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 5:43 PM To: Brandon Buckner; voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] IPLD Carriers We use Level 3 and Verizon Wholesale.for outbound they seem to do a good job for us.

While we don't use them because their foot print is not big enough for us we have good things about Paetech and 360 Networks as well. Profitability is one of our criteria (lots of one horse providers in this space) and both companies have been around a while. Any body you look at look at their foot print closely. They can say we are in X Rate Centers, but when you look they may have one DID available there. ________________________________ From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Brandon Buckner Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 11:41 AM To: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] IPLD Carriers Thanks for the replies so far. I guess I should have stated from the start that our current providers are Level3 and ANPI.
