We have CenturyLink, Cogent, NTT and Viatel in the mix for IP transit.
CenturyLink and Cogent are unproblematic, unless you change something
(like upgrading a circuit).
Cogent will fix billing issues quickly, but they do crop up.
CenturyLink is not very communicative. Can't fault the
There are quite a few not crappy vendors out there, regardless of my snark.
NTT is definitely one of the better ones.
Unfortunately, telecommunications billing is only slightly less complex
than medical billing, and there are plenty of vendors that have made those

Same situation with us. We have dozens of circuits with them as a result of

We've been a GTT customer for several years and on our latest bill we now have
a "Regulatory Recovery Surcharge" of almost 10% tacked on. We only purchase IP
Transit services from them, nothing else, and have never had any fees tacked on
