I guess they didn't factor in capacity issues? > Just to clarify - since its a 10G requirement coming via the regular sales channel they are instructed to quote minimum lead times... in reality, ask them to escalate or speak to me or Rob Parker and we can pull rabbits out of hats as necessary :) SNAP 5 minute turn up assumes the ports are already installed and yes, at 10G there are checks in place to make sure the capacity is available. There's also a question of if its wave vs clear channel ethernet (L2 MPLS) ... so, many factors before being able to tell someone the capacity can be immediately available, but I thought I'd reply and clarify this since folks like James were kind enough to offer the recommendation on-list! thanks Steve
