"a 911 call routing station"
The fuck... I'd always thought that the *local* switch was wired directly to the closest 911 response center and a regional link would only be used when that call center was down (Even then it should be wired to connect to a secondary center in the area). But I suppose its my fault for assuming that CenturyLink would be logical in their operations...
If I were a customer of theirs, it would mean that my call was traveling 1100 miles to get to the routing station only for it to travel another 1100 miles to the 911 center that's less than a mile from my house. I might as well just call the police / fire station directly...
