Mine isn't. I lost power for a three days solid last year, I've suffered 3 sanitary sewer backflows into my basement the last decade and you should see the number of violations the EPA has on file about my drinking water system. Only the gas company has managed to keep the service on, at least until I had a problem with the way their billing department mishandled my bill. Didn't get solved until it went to the lawyers. And I'm in the burbs a half dozen miles from Washington DC. God help folks in a truly remote location.
Why is layer 1 internet magically different from every other utility?
It isn't. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................ herrin () dirtside com bill () herrin us Owner, Dirtside Systems ......... Web: <http://www.dirtside.com/> Can I solve your unusual networking challenges?
