I've gotten attractive pricing from Genuity but I haven't used them in a couple years. Is there any reason I wouldn't want to use them as a third upstream OC3 provider?
I love Genuity's latest set of commercials. Who doesn't have a "legacy" in their network? Much better than Black Rocket (anything would have been better). For Internet stuff they are very good. Genuity is a bi-coastal provider, lots of business on the east and west coast, only a little in the middle of the country. They don't have as high a brand recognition as some other providers, and they don't have a multi-product (long-distance, cell phones, etc) sales force. Genuity is one of a few providers I would recommend as a primary ISP. As a tertiary provider, they might be a bit pricey in comparison to some of the other bit-mover providers. But when you need NOC support, they are top-notch.
