We request a copy of the DLRs on ALL our links. We started this long ago when we had a MCI and Worldcom DS1 die because they went over the same fiber.
OK, sounds like you exercized due diligence. What kind of contract language specified multiple paths for those 3 circuits you paid for?
And how much liquidated damages for an outage did you specify?
Could you please let us all know how long it takes for WorldCom to pay up?

Bingo. That's the correct solution to this kind of problem (a re-route under these circumstances, leading to an outage, should be *extremely* expensive for the company which undertakes it). -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity http://www.mcs.net/~karl | T1's from $600 monthly to FULL DS-3 Service | 99 Analog numbers, 77 ISDN, http://www.mcs.net/ Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1 x219]| NOW Serving 56kbps DIGITAL on our analog lines!
