Since the original question was about porting time, I'd say it's safer
to assume longer rather than shorter.
As I understand it, the port is basically instantaneous whenever the
right person gets the go-ahead and actually updates the LERG database.
All the time going by and all the other BS is just making sure that it's
actually ok and safe to pull the trigger. I.E., the correct person is
making the request, they actually are the account holder, the number
really belongs on that account, etc.
If that's the case, then I don't know why them being a CLEC would
inherently make it slower. I've been assuming they're slower because
nothing requires them to be faster.

I guess it depends on whether or not you are a facilities based CLEC.
Who owns the switch.
In any event, since LNP, the customer owns the number.

CLeC but it really doesn't matter. The number is registered in the LERG
and that tells the gaining carrier who to contact. Some carriers
require a bill which shortens ports in some cases.

If a CLEC is providing phone service over the ILEC Copper. Does the
number exist at the CLEC, or the ILEC for porting purposes? I'm just
trying to get a handle on porting time, AT&T ILEC in our area does
number ports in about 3 days, It's been a while since I've done a
CLEC
port, but they usually took a couple weeks, and those were numbers on
a
T1, not POTS.
