[VoiceOps] Porting to Level3

[Richey]

We were not made aware of this and thought that had been done in error.
All of the carriers we deal with give you anywhere from a 3 to 30 day window
to port.   This really changes the work flow we follow on all of our in
market installs.  I guess all of our out of market installs need to flow
backwards now :)

I believe Level 3 has always had a "default" port time unless you
specifically schedule with them to have the port occur at a specific time,
8AM EST for "internal" ports and I think maybe 2PM EST for normal external
ports.  You can also get control of porting from the Level3 Portal using
what they call "AdOpt" by talking to you account manager.

You can check this page if you need more details on their porting process:

This is what I have experienced with Level 3 also.  We build the route the
night before.
