[cisco-voip] OT: AT&T circuit in Florida

[Ted Nugent]

Not familiar with Florida but that doesn't seem excessive just knowing its
AT&T. We fight with them constantly about this in NC (formerly Bellsouth for
the most part) Just pray that they don't screw up anything in the port order
or 25 days might turn into 45. Also they are notorious for porting early
here especially if they had a port date pushed out for some reason, I've
seen it twice where half the number still ported even though they themselves
screwed up the order and pushed out the port date.
Your only option really is to raise holy hell with their AM and see if they
can get it escalated.
