Hi Drew,
You're probably best off ordering those crossconnects through the Equinix portal, then you can choose the exact positions for the order that goes to the facility rather than relying on a human to transcribe them correctly from your PDF.
Hi, I used to have issues with them at $job[-1]. At some point I had an "explanation" that they will NOT deliver XCos on ports that already have a cable plugged "in order not to cause disruptions". So much for precabled positions.... At some point it was also clear that their records (both their portal and their "other/non-official" records) were pretty far from being correct. The best part was when I ordered ONE XCo de-installed an I got TWO (the extra one a backbone link). Everything done via portal. Paris (FR/EU) area. Things seems a little better now, but as far as I can remember, things happen in "waves" there. Actually there's much more to say about them but for today it's enough. -- R-A.F.
