One order to port numbers from a ILEC PRI to CLEC POTS i son 35 days since the order was accepted.

Another order waiting on a cable triple play for a small , rural clinic - almost a month - not even an FOC date.

Trying to get POTS lines installed because the building and electric code for the county require at least one (especially for an elevator). Months of trying.

A T1 that bounced repeatedly during testing was turned up anyway (for SIP Trunks) - and went down the next day... and the next.

Is it just me or is telecom getting worse instead of better?
