I would say having Juniper gear is an advantage because at least some backdoors are now uncovered and will be closed. And I think a firmware update would be enough, no need to physically swap the routers.

This is exactly what NSA wants you to think while they have another more secretive backdoor in.

Maybe, but a more secretive backdoor would probably not be used as often (to avoid risk of discovery).

I wouldn't believe them unless they are going to open source the code, but I'm not their customer anyways, and I doubt big telcos really care about privacy all that much.
