[cisco-voip] OT: Multiple MPLS providers

[Matthew Saskin]

If they don't cooperate they can get you to use their network not just in
the 90% of locations that work well, but in the other 10% as well.
Realistically, for only a single site I'd say just bite the bullet and go
with the same carrier.  If you have multiple locations with a justifiable
reason to use a different carrier, working out transit on your own may not
be the end of the world.
