That depends on your definition of "facilities based". As a CLEC, we
still depended entirely on the ILEC for T1 loops (installation,
troubleshooting/repair, etc.).

Not if they're different ILECs / different LATAs. If you're in an AT&T CO
in city A, and a Centurylink CO in city B, and an AT&T CO in city C,
you're going to need a 3rd party, preferably with their own fiber, to
connect all the POPs together or back to some central hub site where you
have your internet connectivity.
