Porting numbers from a PRI to SIP trunk - Time slots - No weekend cuts????

Hey guys,

We are moving from an old Avaya PBX using PRI's, to a Cisco VOIP PBX using SIP trunks.

We are working with Centurylink, our PRI and SIP Trunk provider, to determine when to cut/port DID's. We were hoping for a Friday late night port (ie 9pm Central). That would give us the weekend to work through any issues. We would be fine with paying extra for weekend support.

But Centurylink is telling is it is literally not possible. The latest they can do on a Friday night is 6pm Central. Which is crazy, because we have California sites so the cutover would be happening at 4pm Friday night for CA sites.

So the question is.... are Telco's really putting their foot down on Friday night cuts? Does everyone else do cuts on weekday nights or early on Friday night?
