[j-nsp] Juniper support vs. Cisco TAC - experiences?

[Wink]

Also, to answer your question..

I have some experience with JTAC.  They are "on par" with Cisco from my 
perspective in terms of responsiveness and quality of support. 

I think they are about the same, though I'm sure either one will say 
they are much better than the other.

IMHO, you don't typically get the support you need until you are at a 
Tier 2 type level anyway.
