Um, yup. On just about every Worldcom circuit I've bought which
is either newer or older than their current revision ticket system.
(I'm sure other carriers are just as bad).

Now imagine being told to report all this through their UK helpdesk
to add a further level of non-understanding.

The amount of "that isn't a circuit number"'s I've got is instructive.
