I never had to deal with that - I'm in lower north Michigan, and have some services in the upper peninsula too. Worked with more than a handful of ISP's, turned up probably 50 t1's and a DS-3 in my time and I've seen SBC have 2 of all those T1's work the first time. Actually had 9 T1's down for about 4 months at one point, funny thing was that was the time they chose to actually bill us correctly, only they billed us correctly for lines we couldn't use.
