That is true but I find these to be only moderately useful, and a
lot of work to keep up with if you really care. You need to know
how to interpret the little information they gave you: the name of
your upstream switches. These notifications are useful for the "big
picture" and if you're willing to make some calls you might even
find out if a planned maintenance will affect you, but often you
won't. Good luck with that.<br>

Our CenturyLink rep told us we would have to be "approved" to
get<br>
advance notifications of planned outages (and then we never
heard<br>
anything). Great way to run a network.<br>
