I guess everyone has different experiences.. I will start at the beginning.
I was a a company that aquired a company that had a Broadwing MPLS circuit. Level 3 then bought broadwing. Had an outage at a Chicago POP that took down our Cincy and Indy office. Called Level 3 talked to some idiot. I was told he did not know where the issue was and that all of the BW engineers were let go before mapping out the network. To which I replied ok well start with a traceroute and when you see the little *'s appear start there.
L3 had built by M&A and where AT&T succeeded they have failed. If you talk to them they have not merged the technology. It's like a bunch of little networks all over that run independently. Rather then conforming them all into one larger network.
Also have some MPLS and DIA with them at my current job. They have constant outages and on the MPLS side it seems they struggle with honoring QoS that is being put in place.

I get all the MPLS stuff, I don't understand what this business stuff means.
