Indeed, we have seen this happen after several weeks of operation.
It could be heat related, although our NOC isnt hot at all. One
of our POPS is a bit, and 1 MP16 died there, while 3 others died at
the NOC.

Id love to increase my order size too :)

Fine, then why sell them as such? :)

We've been working with 1 manufacturer for 6 months while trying to
debug _their_ modems. We were never told we were beta testers.
And they kept blaming our equipment (The portmasters for instance).
In the end we spent 2 full days debugging them, and found out internal
signal problems made all their uneven rackpositions flaky.
We should have sent a bill for consultancy. I really wouldnt enjoy
going through this again with USR, a brand which for me stands for
stability. You damn well pay for it.
