Lead times to get a new Network set up if they are not in the area can take some time, documentation around configuration could be a little bit stronger, would love a little bit more pricing transparency on the website versus having to talk to an account manager.

Experienced delays in provisioning.

Dislike

It is a bit more costly than some of the other vendors we have used. However, the performance increase is substantial.
