It's similar to my issues. I already do this<br>

that you hope to escape start happening with your new carrier.<br>

I wish carriers would have the same level of visibility in their service<br>
and infrastructure as you seemed to have with Intellisight, and then fix<br>
the problems proactively when they find them.<br>

So true. So elusive in this business.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

You are correct Peter. It's a constant struggle. For years I used a<br>
product from Empirix called Intelisight. It gave us the ability to<br>
monitor carriers (and other managed objects) with defined sets of KPI's.<br>
Once I saw a carrier have issues (PDD, quality, excessive 503's) I used<br>
to call them and tell them they had a problem. Hours or days later they<br>
would resolve. I got away from that practice and just routed around<br>
them. Funny how they notice that. Once the issue was resolved I put<br>
them in a penalty box and slowly added traffic. Once they realized I was<br>
measuring their performance and there would be financial repercussions<br>
it's amazing how the quality of their under lying carriers improved. My<br>
carrier ticket count dropped by 25-30%.<br>
