I would second that opinion of Level3. We were in a Broadwing data center 
and as soon as they were acquired by Level3 we've had nothing but problems. 
We've had 3 extended outages (7 hours, 9 hours and 5 hours) within a six 
month period. It's why we're moving out to a new Switch & Data facility and 
considering Cogent.
