Here at ShaysNet (Greenfield, MA) our experience matches Richard Welty's. NYNEX/BA/Verizon can't get ISDN working properly. Hell, last month they managed to screw up 8 PRIs into UMass/Amherst from a 5ESS switch on Fearing St. four blocks away. Seems the Lowell Switch Operations Group performed a load of new code for the switch in the middle of the day without informing any co staff. I heard that co techs were telling digital techs that their test gear _had_ to be defective. Yeah, right. On this subject, how common is it for an ILEC to have one group modifying a switch load without informimg the co techs? Does this happen all the time? Don't they have _any_ monitoring capability?

whoa. my experience is completely the oposite. (in BA/verizon country, in pittsburgh PA.)
i love my dedicated ISDN clients! we have about 15 or so still left, and their connections are rock solid! in my 3 years of managing the dedicated access customers, i've probably dealt with less than 10 instances of real trouble with those lines. (ie: not solved by resynching the isdn routers, but requiring calling in a bell tech.)
well, except for when we switched a few ISDN customers to adelphia...
