We also found that there were some very large potential savings.
Sprint actually offers two types of traffic delivery guarantees.
The answers to the first two questions are straightforward. The period over which you measure for outages is critical. The longer the interval over which a service is measured, the longer you can experience an individual outage while your carrier remains within its delivery commitments. The more granular the time interval, the tighter your guarantee. Stated another way, if you transmit a constant flow of traffic, you could have no frames delivered for almost a full business day each month, and Sprint would still meet its commitment if it delivered all of your traffic for the rest of the month.
