[VoiceOps] Investigating random call completion issues nationwide

[Mike Hammett]

Ah, okay. That does sound interesting, though perhaps more difficult due to needing every single DID versus NPA-NXX-X blocks and LRNs.

Those services look like they are for CLECs that own number ranges. The Intelepeer 10 digit peering service didn't have that requirement. At the time, I gave them a list of all the DIDs that we bought from various vendors and if a call to those numbers transited Intelepeer, they delivered it directly to us at no cost. So the equivalent to an Internet peering exchange but for phone calls. When Peerless bought Intelepeer's wholesale side, they shut it down because they were afraid of running into compensation issues or billing complaints.

Are you talking about something like Peerless's and Inteliquent's Local Transit services?

Are there any 10 digit peering exchanges still functioning for things other than TF calls? Where we would build a trunk and send a list of numbers on net. If the call is 503d, just send it out normal routing. 


Intelepeer had one before Peerless bought the wholesale network.

Hi folks, 
We’ve been getting occasional, very infrequent, reports of people hitting busy signals or intercept messages when calling numbers routed to us. At first we thought the issue was between us and Peerless but we now have reports with bandwidth and Inteliquent. So, then of course naturally we thought the issue was in our systems. But again, we’ve come up empty. We also thought it may be trunk or port limitations upstream. Have checked those. No dice. 

The issue seems to always be the same. Customer from cell phone or landline dials a number, reaches a busy signal or intercept message. All reports are from Verizon or AT&T callers. We check our logs, don’t see any attempt to even reach our system (we log freakin everything). So we reach out to the upstream provider, and they too claim it never reached their tandem/network. 

I know everyone on earth is currently WFH so perhaps that warrants just shutting up & dealing with it but I’ve been surprised not to see any chatter on this list or elsewhere in this regard. Is anyone else having indications of capacity issues (and are y’all just not talking about it) or is it just us and we should keep looking?
