I am talking problems that are entirely caused by the provider - not the telco or equipment on site.

Are we talking local facilities (i.e. carrier transitions) or ISP POP facilities attributed to over subscription or bad devices ??? The former is almost impossible to solve and is usually just an occupational hazard within poorly plumed (facilities) locations. The later is ISP related and companies like UUNet, Sprint, Qwest, InterMedia, Genuity, and AT&T generally do a better job with it.

From my experience and others that I know, Worldcom and Sprint, and AT&T seem to offer the most stable service, but this service normally comes with a hefty price tag. Actually, though, the larger providers are becoming a lot more competitive in pricing lately because of the uncertainty with the economy and the slowdowns in spending. However, no matter who is providing the service, you will always be at the mercy of the local loop. -----Original Message----- From: Ole Drews Jensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 9:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Anyone Higher? - FR Uptime [7:30920] During the years I have been administering frame relay, I have been dealing with four different providers and four different telco's, but I have so far not seen any circuit being up for a long time without problems. I believe that the longest I have seen a f.r. circuit being up is about a little less the half a year, and one of our providers had an average of downing one of our circuit every 1.5 months. We have four circuits (three branch offices and one corp.) with a provider, and all three branch offices has now been down once (at different dates) in less than four months. So, I am looking for a possitive story in the Frame Relay world. Who can with a smile tell me about a frame relay connection that has been up for a year or more - or would that be totally sci-fi??? I am getting SOOOOOOOOO frustrated and irritated that I have to deal with so much trouble with "simple" WAN connections.
