Recently reached out to Zayo and found out we have a new account manager, and also discovered they were acquired by a company called ENA...

I've never understood companies that acquire and don't completely integrate as quickly as they can.

The problem we have run into is that there does not appear to be a "Zayo." There are dozens of acquisitions of regional providers with completely different infrastructure and teams and they have done a very poor job at gluing it all together. I have seen service orders that have gone *years* without being complete. There are also currently some breaking-the-entire-regional-network sorts of outages going on currently. I am guessing what clued employees they still have are quite tied up.
