Here at ShaysNet (Greenfield, MA) our experience matches Richard
Welty's. NYNEX/BA/Verizon can't get ISDN working properly. Hell, last
month they managed to screw up 8 PRIs into UMass/Amherst from a 5ESS
switch on Fearing St. four blocks away. Seems the Lowell Switch
Operations Group performed a load of new code for the switch in the
middle of the day without informing any co staff. I heard that co techs
were telling digital techs that their test gear _had_ to be defective.
Yeah, right.
On this subject, how common is it for an ILEC to have one group
modifying a switch load without informimg the co techs? Does this happen
all the time? Don't they have _any_ monitoring capability?
