Well, the worst practical case is that they lay off (or otherwise lose)<br>
competent service employees, leaving you stuck when there's an outage.<br>
We have "legacy" circuits with Windstream (originally ordered from<br>
Deltacom, who was bought by Earthlink, who was bought by Windstream),<br>
and the support on those is pretty poor.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">My comment was from current experience … have a legacy PRI that was disco’d ~18 months ago. Initially told they cannot access the disco order that old. This morning that order
is referencing something else(!?). Our monthly bill was not insignificant, but in a month it will be zero. I’m transferring remaining services to reliable carriers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
