<p>It is interesting to see that the reliability of an IP transit
provider sometimes has no direct correlation with their pricing
structure for various commitments in $/MRC for a given value of
Gbps. No matter what the marketing materials/sales say about how
awesome their network is.<br>
</p>
<p>In my experience, in a particular metro area, buying transit from
a well-peered medium sized regional tier 2/3 size carrier <i>where
you personally know the people who have enable on the core
routers</i> can result in a more resilient network.<br>

the bouncing link to resolve the issue and return services

the root cause. The IP NOC is continuing to monitor and a

<p class="MsoNormal">But yeah, I feel the same way. Their
network has been an absolute mess since they started trying to
merge the legacy Twtelecom network together; it’s been really
bad as of late, and any redundancy we had via the other
provider is now gone as we have some locations with only L3 /
TW circuits; both have issues at the same time now if it’s
routing related. Ugh<o:p></o:p></p>
