 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>

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>
