If anything its moved more like that. Now-a-days, iLECs like CenturyLink don't even staff the largest COs at night. I can't even schedule a MOE cut outside of 6am-6pm M-F. Repair on CO wiring always have to yank a CO tech in at any after-hours period. Although I suppose not much has changed. I remember a repair ticket for Frame-Relay years back. For whatever reason, they decided to route it in a semi-circle around the core city, went down early in a long holiday weekend. Status updates every hour were getting really tiring after the 20th-40th ones. Of course, the normal Team comes back in Tuesday morning, and fixes it in 20 minutes. I'd have hoped that they actually made progress and it was only the last bit, but I talked to them and know different. :-( _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
