No other alternatives "for the moment" Paul... Unless you want to spend money for virtual PRI or physical PRI, and port the number over to the CLEC that is providing to you the PRI.
"Rogers" will be "Rogers" as it has been for the past many years... and will continue to be that way unless they clean up act - which is not going to happen soon. Unlimitel is great, but they are responsible for the service they deliver to you and not Rogers -- and they (unlimitel) would have to make arrangements with other CLECs to provide to you the un-interrupted service that you deserve. Unlimitel with deal with Rogers -- but I doubt other telco providers would be as transparent as Unlimitel has been..., but then again, a friend commented its too easy to pass the blame to Rogers. This morning clients called directly on my cell, all frustrated and angry and shot some x-rated voice messages for not being able to get in touch with me... but I was pretty calm ;). Downtimes come with the territory, and hence I have a 2nd number that is independent from Unlimitel and its carriers -- but then again, clients often don't call the secondary number, but quick to call your cell.

After this morning's Rogers failure killed my business lines plus a client's lines for 4 hours, I'm thinking of finding a new source of DIDs. I like Unlimitel, they are nice people and have given great service, but Rogers sucks in a big way, and their incoming service breaks too often. So, what are the alternatives for 416 DIDs? Who can provide them from a *reliable* telco (if such an animal exists)? Can you share uptime stats for the last 12 months (how many outages, time-to-repair for each outage)?
