Is there anything we'll see, from the user side, due to the upgrade?

No, this was simply a large capacity upgrade of the voice switching equipment. It’s an uncommon maintenance, only because everything else is designed to be redundant, so maintenance generally isn’t service affecting. But this upgrade required a brief outage.

Is the "phone switch" you speak of in the upgrade something that supports only phones in your central office, and so forth, or is it the central switch (if it should be called that), or software, that supports phone service in our homes, such as the phone service we receive through our FTTN service and the ATA box we have at home that our phone is connected to?

I wasn't clear whether our home phone service would be down during the upgrade or not.

Thanks!

Yes, the voice switching infrastructure is related to all voice services we deliver. During this upgrade, members were unable to make or receive calls for almost five minutes, just prior to 3:00am last night. This maintenance window was timed to occur during our lowest usage time.

My caller ID stopped working for about two weeks--I think the problem started right around 02/13. I suspect it was due to this upgrade?

Advance notice would have been nice, a call to Sonic support seemed to catch them offguard.

I cannot imagine any correlation between the capacity upgrade and an issue with Caller ID - but do write to support@sonic.com and they can route it to the voice team to investigate!
