I don't want to ramble on about any specific company, but I have a gripe with one of my carriers. Currently I use Level3, Global and Verizon. Anyone have other reliable providers who don't make full-blown equipment swapouts without change management (reversion) plans during business hours ;) Difficult to find an all-inclusive list of carriers. I know about XO and Qwest, but anyone else using a reliable peer I'm overlooking. Off-list replies welcomed however, I wouldn't want to hear full-blown gripes. I've had enough from clients this week due to one of my carriers and their desire to yank/change equipment without 1) notifying us of a change(potential outage) not reverting/resolving fast enough. So imagine your entire VoIP ITSP infrastructure down the first time for 8+ hours, only for the same carrier to come back and do the exact same thing within 10 days for 9+ hours more. Yes sir/maam, I've had headaches this week. -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.
