First I’ve heard of a provider doing it… and we do business with 3356, the one carrier I’d expect to do something like this :-)
Might just be me, but I rarely have to have config changes done on circuits after provisioning, short of enabling dual stack bgp on a circuit that didn’t have it previously, or if a provider did something silly with your config after provisioning/acceptance like send you a default route all of a sudden. Despite that, I know there are lots of people that can’t decide on how they want to do things, or refuse to use and/or don’t understand things like IRR. I don’t do anything with 1299 (yet), but I could potentially see this as a “PITA surcharge” to discourage people from being unable to make their minds up… surely they would waive it for clueful customers who are making a reasonable quantity of changes. > On Jun 30, 2024, at 4:17 PM, Randy Bush <ra...@psg.com> wrote: > > has charging for config changes a la > https://www.arelion.com/customer-excellence/customer-support/online-technical-change-pricing > become common while i was not looking? admittedly, i have not looked > for a long time. > > randy
