Thanks for the input Mike. I like the idea of the comcast business solution with a separate POTS service...as long as we can configure our PBX to work with it.
Do you know if Comcast is linked to Level 3's infrastructure as their backbone. I know that when Comcast was Adelphia it was connected very closely with Telcove. In fact our ISP service went from Adelphia (Business) to Telcove, and now to Level 3. No matter what we do, we are obviously going to have to have a backup solution that does not use the same fiber infrastructure as the others... Actually... Does anybody know where we can find information regarding which ISP's share the same infrastructure here in Vermont?
