It has been my experience that data center engineers doing NOC support at Verizon
do speak to paying customers about routing issues for premium data center services.

Subject: Looking for Verizon-GNI network engineer


Sorry if this is off-topic frustration has set in.  I've got what 
looks like a routing loop or a wedge in your network and I cant get 
past tier2 saying it is an "internet problem".  I asked to speak with 
an engineer directly was told Verizon engineers don't talk directly 
with customers.  Issue going on for 4 days.
