<div dir="ltr">Just my personal preference, but I like to wait until I can see our equipment at the far-end (verified connectivity) before doing the actual scheduling of the port. I know you can amend the port and re-schedule, but there's a lot of other things that can go wrong during the port -- provider not actually removing the number from their switch, etc. (I'm looking at you Spectrum) that I don't need to create additional complications.<div><br></div><div>shawn</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Apr 29, 2022 at 3:22 PM Mike Hammett <<a href="mailto:voiceops@ics-il.net">voiceops@ics-il.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I'm trying to develop some new rules for dates we choose for porting.<div><br></div><div>We have to build outside plant for most customers to accommodate their turn-up.
