True enough. There is a trunk for each subscriber but the
ingress/egress certainly could not handle all of those trunks
simultaneously. I would still want to know a ratio going into it,
otherwise, I would just take my chances with a real PRI for slightly
more money.
And a "real PRI" has exactly the same issue. The only thing a real PRI
has over the nontraditional PRI is that you ASSUME the company is
larger and has experenced engineers to monitor the network.
I remember in Minnesota when MCI hit the local market. The sales guys
sold to ISP's left and right. Their service fell flat on it's ass each
time an ISP was connected. Next move, they disconnected exisiting ISP
accounts and made the front page of the news paper and headline on the
TV news. This was back in about early 1997.
Ratio information only assumes you think you're a better engineer than
they are. Again as was pointed out, some customers might be grandma
and the other a telemarketer.
I am not arguing that fact but if a reseller is just selling trunks from
a "real" telco, then isn't the issue of contention compounded? There is
a ratio of a ratio, correct?
Believe me, I know about grandmas and telemarketers. I ran a call
center with a TDM T3 from Global Crossing with a $30,000/mo phone bill.
The fact of the matter is that Molten is marketing this to business
users on a large scale (Brian said so himself), not grandmas. If you
put it in the proper context, maybe you will see my point of view.
Thanks,
Steve
