Just curious... any idea on the significant difference in time it takes to propagate CNAM LIDB changes for different providers? Our number with Cost Plus propagated within a day or two, and our number w/ L3 is still waiting (5+ days after the record change).

I'm fine waiting for the L3 # to propagate, but I was curious if it was just a policy difference between carriers (i.e. Cost Plus will upload record changes daily, L3 only does it once a week or two), or if there's some significant difference in their network architectures that allows some to be more nimble than others.

Again, just curious...

It's all up the the provider. Level3 is the most difficult provider in the industry to get to do anything and takes weeks to process simple requests.

That's why we're in the process of moving all numbers away from them when there is a viable alternative. I've never met anyone that likes to deal with them

Within the next 3-6 months we hope to be Level3-free except rural areas where they are the only one with coverage.
