For those in the field or just see the the day2day repairs, is it some crazy conspiracy that lecs will drag their feet on 3rd party lines.

We have seen the lecs even do same day dispatch on basic *business class adsl2* circuits.

We just had a outage on one site *dedicated voice circuit*, and it literally took 30 hrs for a premise visit from the lec to determine it was a short on the co side. Ontop of that, even after the long $@@$@!)*!#($%@ delay, it took another 17hrs after their determination to restore the circuit.

SLAS or MTTR...I would assume that the underlying would/should have some sort of minimum MTTR on the local loop.

I'd love to hear from the pros who can shed some light if you guys have more seen similar instances..
