RE: Systemic problems at Verizon
Steve Sobol <sjsobol@NorthShoreTechnologies.net>
I've never, ever had trouble with Ameritech ISDN,
ISDN, now there's a technology that NYNEX/Bell Atlantic/Verizon has never been able to get right in the Northeast. Never, never, never, never, never. there are rumors of working ISDN in some major metro areas like Boston, but properly functioning ISDN elsewhere in the old NYNEX footprint is just a joke. richard

whoa. my experience is completely the oposite. (in BA/verizon country, in pittsburgh PA.) i love my dedicated ISDN clients! we have about 15 or so still left, and their connections are rock solid! in my 3 years of managing the dedicated access customers, i've probably dealt with less than 10 instances of real trouble with those lines. (ie: not solved by resynching the isdn routers, but requiring calling in a bell tech.) well, except for when we switched a few ISDN customers to adelphia... deeann m.m. mikula director of operations telerama public access internet http://www.telerama.com 1.877.688.3200
Here at ShaysNet (Greenfield, MA) our experience matches Richard Welty's. NYNEX/BA/Verizon can't get ISDN working properly. Hell, last month they managed to screw up 8 PRIs into UMass/Amherst from a 5ESS switch on Fearing St. four blocks away. Seems the Lowell Switch Operations Group performed a load of new code for the switch in the middle of the day without informing any co staff. I heard that co techs were telling digital techs that their test gear _had_ to be defective. Yeah, right. On this subject, how common is it for an ILEC to have one group modifying a switch load without informimg the co techs? Does this happen all the time? Don't they have _any_ monitoring capability?

That's because ISDN is really just "telephone service".... Sure, there's buzz not dialtone on the pair. But it is one pair (BRI), and it goes to a line card on a switch. Your call drops; BFD, call back. No VPI/XYZ's etc. No NoNuts (now Verizontal North) could never get POTS working, either. So I'd be unshocked iffen they have ISDN grief. And Verizontal South (old See & Pee) has LOTS of it since ISDN Centrex is big with them, VERY big. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
