MCI is itself much more guilty for this In both the MCI and AT@T networks, failures occured during upgrades of their networks. The upgrades are necessary due to the tremendous demand in bandwidth and advanced network services. The subsequent failures occuring during these very sophisticated upgrades can happen for a number of reasons. MCI's woes are probably more due to the fact that they are building a single network from multiple acquisitions they've made, using incompatible equipment from multiple vendors. These failures can be avoided by using proper operational procedures and planning for problems. MCI is itself much more guilty for this problem than any specific vendor.
