JJ,

Thank you so very much. . .I appreciate your time and the sharing of your knowledge regarding this matter.

My vendor contact, in order to try and save us money, told me that a vendor really doesn't need to be on site for the changeover because all that will be involved is switching from one connection to another in the equipment room and if for some reason it doesn't work, they can always switch back to the way it was until they get the kinks ironed out. Would you agree with this?

I don't know if I can state the vendors involved here (LD carriers that we are switching to and from) but they are probably the two largest LD carriers. It's just that one responded to our request for a rate decrease and the other one was going to but never did.

Thanks once again.
