East Coast Bad Bridge Design crusade for Direct PVC or other fix ?

We just spent the morning battling Verizon where we had about 100 customer
bouncing in and out of service. We had confirmed out network was clean -
router was under 50% CPU and could not figure out the issue. After many
calls to Verizon saying it was "our" Layer 3 issue, we finally reached
someone who did a PVC by PVC comparison and found another ISP with infected
customers that were actually flooding the Redbacks - hence causing problems
on our DS3.

We have run in to this problem more than once "we call it the Verizon Bridge
Group Flood problem" regardless it sucks and causes us a lot of pain. Has
anyone else run in to this before ?
 
I propose a crusade to get Verizon East to fix their network properly with
Direct PVC and get the Redback Bridging setup to go away. We need to
propose as we once tried a while back a one time DPVC charge, or let them
host individual Redbacks per ISP customer vs. shared.
 
I would like to get interested partied together for a quick chat and get
your temperature on the situation so I can determine my course of action.
Please email me or call if interested - I'm hot to pursue / lead the action.
 
Thanks
Eric
