Sure, but then I just transfer the problem to someone else, until the traditional PSTN goes away or modernizes. I am working on IPES for expansion markets, though.
Also, for my home LATA, I'm needing to be in the same building as the primary tandem, so it's kind of a selling point for large customers in that area that I would have fewer opportunities for failures. I don't have to go to Chicago and back to get to the operator in the next row of racks over. Though, I suppose my SS7 diversity and availability is the weakness, not the actual call path.

Reduce your reliance on it more and more. Switch to IP tandems (Inteliquent/Peerless/etc) and ip interconnect. The people who make and support SS7 equipment are in a dying market, the brain drain on it is immense as people retire, and the longer you rely on it, the worse it's gonna get.
TNS is a big dog in the space. But that's not saying much anymore.

We currently get our SS7 via TNS. I (maybe incorrectly) understand them to be a big dog in that space.
I've had two major problems with them in six months.
What are my alternatives? Are they less pleasant?
