Indeed, somebody finally summarized MPLS in a couple of sentences rather than a white paper. Our company left AT&T due to poor service last year for Worldcom. At Worldcom someone answers when you call, and they usually call back with progress on a regular basis. At AT&T, you get to leave a voice mail and might get a call back within two hours. Online tickets and escalatiion requests are often ignored. Fourtunately all of the key circuits our business runs on are off AT&T.
