We've got SONET with them out of Cleveland, handling a bunch of DS-3 and
T1 circuits. Most of our issues with ICG are due to cross-connect DS-3s
going down between COs somewhere, so I don't know if some of their
circuits are built on non-protected fiber. We dumped a few T1s last week
when they lost a DS-3 somewhere for about 2 hrs - Never had that problem
with other carriers we use.
