2nded, I tried for months to get Ericsson to get us a quote and sort us out with a solution as I'd used their kit and liked it in the past. Exactly as Tim said, they just didn't seem interested if you're not after a big $$ solution. We went with ASR1k as cisco came to the party on price and we were already using 7200 at the time. No complaints. Patrick Fri, Dec 02, 2016 at 10:37:29AM -0000, tim@pelican.org wrote:

Redback used to be popular - I believe they got picked up by Ericsson.
I'd steer clear at a small scale like 20k subscribers. In my experience, Ericsson as an organisation just aren't set up to deal with a company that want to buy a couple of boxes, install and run them themselves, and call support when something breaks - it's all about multi-month PoCs and fully-managed rollouts at incumbent-telco scale. Think 20M subs, not 20k.
