I know it's still been a pretty short time, but has anyone experienced or heard feedback about any changes in at least the quality service from Arecont? And how soon do you think if any changes are going to happen to quality of products should we see them?

Was this mostly back office consolidation with some low performing sales people axed for good measure?
