I have hard experience with SDSL vs straight DS1 service.

SDSL has three-four different companies in the picture.

You only get to talk to the first. Period. Everything beyond is
2nd hand.

They all have finger splints from overuse; pointing to each other.

I have had Verizonal leave a DS-3 feed to a DSLAM in loopback
and go home when they ran out of OT budget.

DS-1 service is a horse of a different color. Bells go off
when they go down. You can raise hell, but I never have had
to...
