I have ported lots of them in their clec area. It is always a problem. Typical Att ports are 7-10 days. Centurytel is 90-120 days. Even when they port they sometimes don't remove the numbers from their switch so any centurytel customer that calls their numbers gets a ring with no answer. They truly try everything possible to stop a port.
