We are looking at using our Cable TV provider in addition AT&T.  The Cable
provider uses their own cabling and uplinks via Fiber to Level3 and MCI,
so
it does not intersect with our phone provider.

Playing devil's advocate here - how do you *know* that your Cable fiber
to Level3 doesn't go through the same conduit under the bridge as your
telco's fiber to wherever they connect?
