Routing around the problem, what a concept. More backup for the 2xt1 shop to contimue doing it..
I'm still awaiting the list of providers that never have a circuit go down. :-)
Every carrier has had a circuit go down. The difference is the carrier's response, in particular how well they keep their customers informed. On the other hand, there is a significant statistical difference between major carriers of service affecting cable cuts and the mean time to repair. Which might be somewhat of a surprise because the physical cuts are more or less evenly distributed among the carriers, on a pro-rata basis. Among "major" carriers (i.e. with more than 20,000 route miles active) Sprint has the fewest service affecting cable cuts AT&T is the best at keeping customer's informed
