A Big Loss Of Power

I'm not talking elections here. I'm talking about my internet service. My isp lost power at about 8 AM local time and it has just come back at about 11PM local time.

I had a post ready to publish and a few more in mind that required some research.

Sorry for the interruption.

Oh yeah. This wasn't some small local provider. It was Comcast. They need to get some batteries and a backup generator for their plant. Like the telcos.

Embarq, a telco, lets the phone go dead after about ten hours without grid power. This saves money on generators.

My own little generator outlasts it, in vain if I wanted DSL.
