We tried to order a 100G circuit from them terminating in an existing Level3 FPP at a location that we've had at least two 1G circuits and a 10G circuit terminated at.
They refused to process the order because they needed to "extend the demarc " to our suite. There is no suite. It's a FPP in the basement of the building. Our FPP is next to it. We've done this before...
They said that the equipment (the FPP) may not be 100G compatible, and they may need to install a new one that can support 100G.
We told them to just forget it and we'd order from Zayo... <sigh>... At 03:10 PM 05/07/2019, Stephen Frost wrote:
Greetings, I have to admit that I was hoping to be able to report to this list that CL was able to spin up a new 1G in fairly short order (after all, this is what they assured me of when discussing it with them...) but it's now been over a month, with them telling me it'll be another couple weeks because they need to send a tech out (the wiring and all of the equipment has been ready to go, though that also took longer than it should have imv...). And this in an already lit building in northern Virginia, not some back of the woods location, small town, or something going across an ocean. Pretty disappointing.

Iâm currently willing to wager on what comes up first, them or amazon peering (thatâs taking just as long). After the merger, we have seen Level3 slide into the CL abyss becoming a pain to deal with. Pricing and ordering has been outsourced weâve been told and decisions are no longer at a regional level.
