but I assume that BTI and Infinera were orders of magnitude more expensive?

We were buying a lot of our MTP/MPO cables from them, which was a pretty good experience. Then recently I tried to figure out DWDM options with them (based on feedback from the list here actually) … that was pretty much a disaster and since I haven’t placed a single order with them (ended up finding a local supplier with better pricing/quality for the MTP/MPO cables anyways). Everything I asked them had to be ran back via China headquarters, nobody was able to jump onto a phone call, or setup a meeting (I offered to fly to China to meet and discuss some of our projects and they declined). Compare this to BTI and/or Infinera and it was a completely positive experience…. BTI and Infinera took about 3 business days to provide a complete solution and quote - FS took almost a month and I ended up with a quote and part of the solution … -p On Oct 20, 2016, at 3:58 AM, TJ Trout < [email protected] > wrote: I've been doing a fork lift upgrade at the noc which has included several orders at fs.com and the funny, well meaning broken English sales lady tells me that I'm "coming so fast" with my orders, thought someone would get a laugh?
