And I'm sure it would go about as well as the TW integration went. Level3 is currently having issues, we lost BGP just a bit ago and also legacy voice trunks have been down since first thing this morning.

Does 3356 (L3) absorb 209's (CL) infrastructure and slowly make customers change their peering config to hit 3356 instead? You make a good point, I have at least a couple clients that peer to both providers for redundancy. One of which just recently signed an agreement with CenturyLink for the sole purpose of fail over.

Except for all of their mutual customers who had circuits from both for redundancy. (See also: Level 3's and TWTC's mutual customers, and probably a long list of other M&A I'm not thinking of off-hand.) OK, I lied about it being great anyway.
