RE: Does anyone actually like CenturyLink?

CenturyLink a network which has a long history of troubles, merged with Level3/TWT/Telcove/etc which had, IMOHO, 
excellent technical history. They've created some bastard which is less than what Level3 once was. As legacy Level3, I 
still have most of my original team, but I'm confident that whatever caused CL's messes has worked its way into the 
works.

This is on the Legacy Level 3 side which is generally much better and still largely separate (according to my former 
co-workers). So say what you want about CTL but this is an LVLT issue.

anyone use them? To me, it just seems like asking for trouble...but maybe I'm missing something?
