I you are a customer of theirs it can be hard to get them to make changes. In my past life as a CLEC employee we even had some trouble getting them to correct things that we thought were problems on inter-office trunks. You may be able to escalate your troubles up to a tech that understands and cares. If you still don't get any response I'd talk to Roger at the WUTC. ---------------------------------------------- Chad Skidmore Director of Network Engineering Northwest Nexus, Inc. http://www.nwnexus.com 888-NWNEXUS

RBS is often times run on on AMI D4 circuits. Also, RBS is generally not run on inter-office trunks.

I have a feeling RBS is being used for inter-telco trunks (eg USwest to GTE). And its killing v.90 in Seattle.

If a telco is running RBS on a trunk, any way to get them to remove it?

Also, any way to get the telco to tweak digital pads? Eg what magic incantation do you say to the telco.
