Yep. The order hit C&P Monday at 7am, they had our end on by noon
(not all that hard since they just turned it on remotely; we are fiber
served, and very pre-wired for these things), and the circut was into
the hotel by about 5pm. The only real delay was the house wiring at
the hotel, which is a total and complete disaster. It took them several
hours to figure out how to go down one floor, and across about 100 feet...
Still, Bell Atlantic was very quick about it. The Access Media guys
bought dinner for the crew, pretty suprised that it could be done that
quickly.
