I've encountered several toll free numbers (like the BellSouth DSG) which can no longer be dialed from Gainesville, FL roughly coinciding with Katrina slamming the Gulf Coast. I finally called BellSouth (the local ILEC) and asked what was up, as I can't get through from Gainesville, but I can if I use our VOIP network to route the calls out through other cities in FL (or if I use my Cingular cell phone).
According to BellSouth repair, it's a Sprint call routing problem. I found it amusing and unlikely that BellSouth's DSG would use Sprint for their phone lines.
Is anyone aware of Sprint having LD voice routing issues, probably a result of Katrina damage?
LD and T1 from Pensacola FL were failing, it turned out because they were routed through the affected area. LD was probably BS, T1 was MCI/UUNet, but a lot of the fiber goes along similar paths, ISTM. They are trying to re-route everything, TSPs first, then rescue / relief / municipal, then others, so I am told. -- Joe Yao ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is not an official statement of OSIS Center policies.
