Our IPVPN/ESIP provider is XO and they do appear on Tier 1 provider lists. A lot of times we have to “Type 2” over LEC’s to get service into some of our locations. Lately I have been running into situations where AT&T, Verizon, and Quest are the LEC/Last Mile and want us to pay for shared infrastructure. The latest one is for a location in Southern California where Verizon is out of capacity and needs to install a Fujitsu FlashWave 4100. The want us to install electrical and grounding for it at a cost of $1000. Once it is installed, they will run our circuit through it as well as being able to run other customers through it at a later day. Question is, why should we have to foot the bill for getting power to it? I get that they are out of capacity and we need the service but it just seems like there would be a better way to spread out or share the costs.
