David Fisher <David.Fisher@InternetMCI.com> writes and excellent
comeback, but fails to state much about the most major problem:

       complaints of unannounced delays in install schedule

He also fails to make any commitment that there will not be further 
delays.   Which is the way a seller should talk to people if it is
indeed a seller's market.

Most of us reading the tirade discounted the venom but saw the real
pain of an ISP's schedule gone haywire because the Tier 1 provider 
has unapologetically moved the schedule back.

I bet if MCI confronts the problem directly, then more of us will
be interested in MCI in the future.  MCI: go and come back to us
with a credible time-table and make some kind of commitment to the
scheduling.  Or just be honest and say "hey, you gets what you gets".



Cheers!
