[ale] anyone have any experience with cbeyond they'd like toshare

[Edward Holcroft]

Used CBeyond in our Dallas and Atlanta offices for several years and been
quite OK with their service. Had to move away from them as part of a
company-wide 18 office shift to Qwest MPLS (nightmare experience in itself
and still incomplete after six months).
However trying to leave Cbeyond is proving to be exceptionally difficult.
They are doing as much as possible to delay and obstruct the porting of
numbers to new providers - been paying double bills for several months now
while they continue to come up with reasons why the order cannot be
completed.
