They're also looking at deploying it in parts of Missouri. IMHO, the cost is perfect (at least in MO), but I'm leery of the telcos having that much control over the network. Also, I hear L2TP is better than L2F, but
And the telcos have no control of the network now? Let's see....if Ameritech is doing repair on voice equipment, and some ham-handed tech who just started yesterday destroys one (or more) of our DS-1's....no more connectivity to that customer, or possibly (if he hits enough of them) to anyone. I agree that it would really be nice to have 100% control over things, since unless you do you can't really and truly PROMISE any kind of reliability. P.S: I'm not implying that Ameritech (or any other telco) is incompetent....only that there *IS* an unavoidable danger of service disruption by accident.
