If their lips are moving, they're probably lying.

So go to the website for the ILEC and find the conect information.  As
an example, SBC plasters information for the different teams all over
their pages.  If you identify that you're with your employer when you
call in and summarize the problem, you'll get transferred to somebody
who can answer your question on the ILEC work orders.  Hell, they'll
probably leap at the chance to "help" you in order to try and convince
you to move away from the CLEC.
