[mod.telecom] Leased line comparisons

Schragge@huey.udel.EDU (06/19/86)

At the University of Delaware, we are looking to install
9600 and 56 kb long distance lines to other universities.
The lines are to conform to AT&T 3002 conditioning for
synchronous, full duplex data transmission.
At present we are receiving bids from AT&T, MCI, and SPRINT.

Does anyone have some relevant experiences with any of these
companies with leased lines?
 
If you do please relay them to :

                                Thanks in advance,

[On the left coast, MCI and Sprint seem quite disinterested in providing
 data circuits.  All MCI quotes I've received for intrastate service have
 been higher than AT&T.  I've never heard of 3002 series for 56Kb, only DDS.
 Suggest you also consult ITT; they don't serve many cities, but have
 extremely competitive rates for microwave circuits where you can get them.
