Subject: Re: [NANOG] Installation troubles with GlobalCrossingDear list,
Thanks to everyone who has respond to me by privat mails.
> I just want to ask if anyone else have major troubles to install new or
> upgrade services with Global Crossing ?It seems that I'm not the only one who has troubles with installations
and trouble tickets in the past 12 months. I also get some offers from
competitors which promise to bring up a point two point link within 10
days.
Easy way to find out if the competitors mean it, or are just more marketing
smoke -- see if they'll sign a contract with the fixed turn-up date, *AND*
a, say, 500 Euro/day penalty (payable in cash, not just a service credit) for
each day they miss the promised date. If they won't sign that contract, ask
"why not?" The non-answers for that can be really entertaining. <wry grin>
