Some PDD to mobile numbers is to be expected, but most of our customers

Is the vendor in question by any chance Bandwidth/Dash/Inetwork ?

We're getting really bad PDD from them recently, from 7 to 16 seconds to
Los Angeles NPA 213.

You think they would give us a 5XB ka-clunk-pop, some muted MF followed
