re: XO Sweats Its Optical AssetsIf Level 3 is the bitter rival of XO that has "provisioning issues", then it's weird: Level 3 also uses a lot of Infinera gear and therefore should have no problem with rapid provisioning. What gives?
re: XO Sweats Its Optical AssetsThis is just a hunch, but it seems to me that most of Level 3's provisioning issues probably come from recently acquired assets that presumably aren't running on Infinera gear.

re: XO Sweats Its Optical AssetsSame thought occurred to me.
I guess it has to be Infinera at both ends to make the 10 day deadline. So maybe XO has enough Infinera in their network to achieve the speed advantage, but Level 3 maybe has a mixture of gear so they're at the mercy of the infamous optical lead times!
