A tale of backup transit...
A Senior Sales Manager of an unnamed company that claims to be a "regional leader in business connectivity" familiar with our requirements for backup transit ( gige via in building cross-connect, BGP, low CIR, etc.) tells a Senior Sales Droid to call us with a quote. The conversation went like this:
Senior Sales Droid: Hey, yeah, how's it going?
Zubrcom: I need tansit over gige PNI at 401 N. Broad. Can you do that?
Senior Sales Droid: You need PRI?
Zubrcom: No, I need transit over gige PNI.
Senior Sales Droid: Private Network Interface.
Zubrcom: Yes.
Senior Sales Droid: What do you need that for?
Zubrcom: Transit.
Senior Sales Droid: Between where and where?
Zubrcom: No transport. Transit. To the internet.
Senior Sales Droid: Ah to the internet... That's what we call Direct Internet Access
Zubrcom: OK.
Senior Sales Droid: Transit is a circuit that goes between two places on our network.
Senior Sales Droid: So do you want to talk about it?
Zubrcom: No. I need pricing.
Senior Sales Droid: You mean you dont want to talk?
Zubrcom: No. I just want pricing.
Senior Sales Droid: Oh that will take some time, I need to run models.
