Routing around the problem, what a concept. More backup for the 2xt1 shop to contimue doing it..
I'm still awaiting the list of providers that never have a circuit go down. :-)
Every carrier has had a circuit go down.
On that we agree.
The difference is the carrier's response, in particular how well they keep their customers informed.
That is certainly *a* point of differentiation, however if the goal of these "basement dual-homers" is to not suffer downtime due to the outage of a single provider(much like the organizations that "matter"), all the responsiveness in the world from a provider whose circuit to one of the "basement dual-homers" which has failed isn't going to prevent them from being down, is it?
