FWIW I just called the problem number on a POTS line (from MN, about 100 miles away in Qwest territory) and it had *terrible* voip style lag and call quality. I'm guessing you're right, the CLEC has some capacity problems.
The customer at that end told me their mom+pop has changed hands 4 times in the last 2 years and now it is 'Embarq'. -Eric On Mar 16, 2010, at 6:16 PM, Tony Graziano wrote: > Nope. You got it.
