I hear that Level 3 is good but do they handle small stuff like T-1? We may be looking to dual-home soon and will be looking around.
Remember, Level(3) bought (at least some of) genuity/bbn. I was always impressed with the genuity folks. We just switched a DS3 to the AS3356 backbone from AS1 on Monday. Smoothest turn up I've ever had. LER

One of the providers we are looking at is Level-3. Any comments good/bad on reliability and clue? We already have UU, Sprint, and AT&T. I also realize that the "they suck less" list changes continuously... :)
I have about 5 GB of IP transit connections from Level3 across 8 markets (plus using their facilities for our backbone). Level3 has been very solid on the IP transit side.
MFN/AboveNet has also been very good to us.
