Ken Umezawa - Network Engineer - Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P.

"We have 110 remote sites seeded across the country from Denver to New Haven, CT. and Grand Forks, ND. to Corpus Christi.  At some point early last year one of us said aloud, in front of management, that we could reduce cost AND improve performance by migrating these sites away from Frame Relay onto VPN and "wouldn't that be cool?!"  Next thing you know we had ourselves a "Project."

We slogged our way through about half of the sites until Fall when we were diverted by an acquisition and another more pressing major project.  At that point we welcomed the diversion.  We were tired and frustrated.  Trying to locate broadband providers for each location proved to be madly labor intensive.

Returning from the holidays we determined that "there's gotta be a better way."  With a little surfing we stumbled across some vendors that claimed they could do all the legwork and it wouldn't cost us a cent.  While it sounded too good to be true we figured it was a free e-mail, why not ask..... One vendor failed to reply, another gave us some mumbo-jumbo, and Marcus at Broadband gave us a song and dance.  As it turns out Broadband National can truly sing and dance!  We dumped the list of remaining sites on Marcus.  He promptly took over qualifying, ordering, and provisioning.  He updated us regularly, presented us with multiple options to choose from when they were available, secured very competitive "special pricing" for Internet T1's when low cost broadband was unavailable and even dared to act gracious when we pulled a few locations from him because we have a specific "preferred vendor" with whom we deal directly in a few locations.

Overall our only regret is not finding BBN from the start.  We've added a few locations in the last couple months.  BBN is always our first if not only call for Voice and/or Data circuits."
