RE: comcast price check

Ok lets clarify. Comcast recently started offering Ethernet (read fiber delivery) circuits. Anyone know about stability and pricing on these. Please exclude all the commentary on any Comcast services that are "cable" based. -Original Message- From: ChrisSerafin [mailto:ch...@chrissera

T.38 IP carriers?

Is anyone aware of a large (preferably tier 1 or tier 2) carrier that has a solid network that supports T.38 fax on-ramp and off-ramp services? I have a client that needs to originate and terminate several DS3's worth of T.38 fax traffic and is trying to find a carrier that supports this.

Re: comcast price check

I have a client that has a number of business AT&T DSL and Comcast cable circuits for small remote VPN sites.AT&T is great, rarely goes down Their Comcast circuits ALWAYS go down and are problems upstream per Comcast. I 'm not sure how much they cost thought, sorry. Chris Serafin

Mike, Comcast sells these business services but expects to be held to no SLA. It was a clear warning before going to use them, that you could run into potential problems with their "Enterprise-Grade" ethernet service. It took 4 months for their techs to figure out it was something wired wron

While this is true, I had a 4 hour negotiated SLA with Bellsouth (AT&T) for any outages on my DSL business circuit and I was paying alot less. Ryan On Sat, 21 Feb 2009, Jim Popovitch wrote: It is also BS how high the expectations are for the $$ spent. ;-) -Jim P.

Maybe it just depends on the area I have had Comcast Business Class at my residences through the past 7 years with no problems at all. Infact my current connection has almost a better uptime than our t1's at our office. Connected (165d 13h 29m 37s) with 16/2 minimum speed. I personally would

I don't think the expectations are that high for the money spent. They are promising a service for a particular price. They either deliver on that service in a 100% working condition or its false advertising and thus is not honest. It isn't the customers fault they decided to promise a service at a
