User Testimonials
	Ciena Waveserver	Lumen Ethernet
Likelihood to Recommend	Ciena No answers on this topic	Lumen Technologies It is well suited based on our experience for small-scale projects where there are not very critical production-related activities happening. It will be easy to control and handle within a small set of deployments or platforms such as mobile-related activities. I don't recommend it for large server-scale deployment because we have seen inconsistencies with the connectivity of services.

Alternatives Considered	Ciena No answers on this topic	Lumen Technologies AT&T I would say is the leader within this area in terms of handling any large-scale deployments and their services are awesome. No connectivity issues at all and no latency in feedback. Server deployments are handled very effectively, that's not the case with century link. Of course, security is second to none with AT&T.

We have a call center running off the service and calls have much less jitter now. Positive: Fiber speeds have helped us execute daily tasks quicker. Negative: Much time and money wasted on the initial configuration and setup. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
