Greetings, My personal experience, take it for what it is worth.
Level 3 was extremely slow to turn up a circuit well before the merger and seems slower post the merger. I have just never seen level 3 turn up anything fast, even in a data center they already were serving other customers in.

Sometimes you’d be surprised, it may not be straightforward on their end. Remember, most people here are likely experts at some part or many parts, what we do is likely wizardry to others. I have a saying you’re welcome to steal if you don’t steal it too much: “We are moving at the speed the organization is capable”. I suspect that’s the case for them in a post-acquisition world trying to sort through all the integration work. - Jared ________________________________ HowardCenter.org<http://howardcenter.org> [http://howardcenter.org/assets/design/Facebook.jpg] <http://www.facebook.com/pages/HowardCenter/106516727431> [http://howardcenter.org/assets/design/Twitter.jpg] <https://twitter.com/HowardCenterVT> [http://howardcenter.org/assets/design/LinkedIn.jpg] <http://www.linkedin.com/company/HowardCenter> CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is patient protected health information, privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
