BROOMFIELD, Colo., January 17, 2011
Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE:LVLT, news, filings) today announced that it has received the ATLANTIC-ACM 2011 Global Wholesale Best in Class Award for Provisioning and the Best in Class Award for Network Quality. The awards recognize Level 3’s leadership in delivering data network and voice services to meet the wholesale communications needs of global carriers.
“Our survey results reflect customers’ recognition of Level 3’s commitment to delivering a positive customer experience and advanced network services,” said Fedor Smith, president of ATLANTIC-ACM. “Level 3’s year-over-year improvement across all service categories indicates that their continued efforts to be a leader in customer service are paying off in the eyes of customers.”
The award is based on the ATLANTIC-ACM 2011 Global Wholesale Report Card study, which compiles wholesale customer feedback via online surveys. Customers evaluate the performance of their carriers based on a number of operational categories. Customers also rate voice and data service offerings for both quality and price. The Provisioning and Network Quality awards are based on the combined average score for quality and price across all data services.
“Level 3 has put a tremendous amount of work into creating the kind of customer experience carriers need and want, and we take a lot of pride in what our hard work has achieved,” said Andrew Crouch, president of Sales for Level 3. “These Best in Class recognitions are testaments to the relentless work of our employees to deliver the data network capabilities and connect global carriers in the most effective, efficient way possible. We thank our customers for such a high honor.”
ATLANTIC-ACM will present the Global Wholesale Best in Class awards on Jan. 19 at the Pacific Telecommunications Council conference in Honolulu, Hawaii.
