Yeah. Ports go bad between the full-on I/CLECs all the time. I've 
probably had a better success rate with Google than AT&T or fuckin' 
Verizon (though admittedly the volume of ports I've done with the latter 
two and the other LECs is orders of magnitude more than I've done with 
GV over the years).

I really don't think you've much to fear with trying out GV.
