[edit] ...advertising, anyone?

Sooo, this article has become an advertisement. Anyone else notice that? I'm tagging it as such - this is pretty blatant, as far as they go. --Ultraxiv

I believe the last set of edits was by the PR department. The information about its origin as part of the Kiewit Group was cut, which seems odd and pointless. Shall we return to the previous version by Nbach? Acroterion (talk) 11:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unstable servers?

Perhaps we should mention something about the notorious instability of Level3's dialup servers. They don't seem to have the ability to handle the traffic surges they get in the evenings... --Aurochs

Thanks for that. I'm with a company that shall not be named and wondering why the hell level 3 pops suck so much. We're moving everyone over to global pops. --Nyxxxx 00:27, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


Aurochs? Why do you keep cutting the blurb? It's true. Level 3 is also a very friendly ISP for spam and adult hosting providers. This is the backbone provider to Neucom Inc. (aka City-Guide aka CandidHosting) [1] They've been continuously notified that this reseller in Tampa is abusing the internet.[2] [3] Yet they continue their relationship because it is so profitable. If you want to resell to porn providers this is the ISP for you.-Jack92129 —

I keep removing it because it's blatantly POV and unencyclopedic. I see no reason to include this info here. --Aurochs (Talk | Block)

How about if I cut the POV stuff? -Jack92129  • 

Much better, but I still don't think this belongs... --Aurochs (Talk | Block)

Where else would you post information about this company that doesn't respond to internet admin complaints? I feel this is topical. I'd certainly want to know about their efforts to comply with their written policy before purchasing stock in the company. --Jack92129

WP:NOT a financial research institute. (I guess that would fall under "indiscriminate collection of information".) --Aurochs (Talk | Block)

You should cite EXAMPLES (not opinion) of their inability to resolve complaints, and it would be cool to include.

Also, somebody should add some paragraphs on L3's pre-communications origins as a coal mining company.

What about the Cogent - Level3 fight that precipitated discussion around "internet partitioning"?

[edit] Name Origin

Where does the company derive its name from?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.188.119.66 (talk) 05:39, 13 December 2006 (UTC).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_company_name_etymologies#L The name Level 3 is a reference to the "network layer" of the OSI model.

[edit] GOOG 411

Is this the level 3 that Goog 411 talks about? User:Kushal_one —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.150.163.1 (talk) 11:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
