We've had various CL (was Embarq) upstreams out of our more rural data facility for 6+ years now. We started with T1s, went to ATM, upgraded to Fiber and we've recently moved on to a different layer 2 provider to peer with Level3. We were fortunate enough to have that option. During our experience with Embarq/CL we had a host of issues from basic outages/cuts to capacity issues. I think their issues are going to be more regional than global though. My issues in Central Florida likely wouldn't be the same issues somebody might have in other areas.

Is this a pretty good performing network? I read the following link, which gave me concerns, but I'm not sure if this only effects DSL customers or wholesale customers also. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/CenturyLinks-Network-Is-Choking-11242 6 I have a 20Mbit DS3 circuit with ACC Business. Bandwidth is maxing out way too much. They want too much money to upgrade to the full DS3. I have just over a year left on the contract. Centurylink can provide a full DS3. Because IPv4 addresses about to run out, I thought it would be good to multi-home, run BGP and get our own IP space from ARIN. Any feedback on how your centurylink circuits perform would be great.
