T1sare 6-8 weeks.Bigger pipes are 2-6 months for the fastest response, manycases are longer.Back to business failures, the DSL world is looking rockyat best. Rythmsisn't looking very solid and neither is Covad. Some of theNorthPointcustomers are not going with either, electing to go withthe local RBOCinstead (despite the hassles and long lead-times). Whatmany businessesreally need is true multi-homing.<snip> So, if people picked better providers, they wouldn't need to multihome. You feel you need to multihome, because you keep picking DSL, which just isn't a good choce for "mission critical applications".You can think that way all you want to, right up to the time when your local RBOC decides it will no longer serve you. At which time, good luck shoving those bytes down the wire.
I may be stupid or something, but the above doesn't appear to make the least bit of sense. Do you have data that the RBOCs and CLECs are moving out of the circuit (DS0 on up) delivery business?
