Any additional reports concering this?
We received some similar type information in our area: #include <standard.legal.disclaimer.h> --- cut here --- Effective at midnight December 31, 1999 through approximately 8 AM January 3, 2000, Ameritech will not accept repair calls unless they are causing life threatening emergencies. This procedure is also being followed by several other network providers in anticipation of Y2K. This does not reflect on the Y2K preparedness. It is just one more precaution the carriers are taking to make sure they aren't swamped with repair calls over the weekend. While we will take trouble reports from our customers throughout the weekend, we will not be submitting them until after 8 AM January 3, 2000. Please let your customers know that all normal response times are temporarily suspended and that nothing will be done on repair calls until Monday morning. If a customer wants to call Ameritech direct, please give them the appropriate repair number or the Y2K hotline number 888 247-5259. On a related note...I have called several Y2K people at Ameritech and they know nothing of a rumor that claims Ameritech will be "rebooting" all their central offices beginning at midnight on the 31st. Several customers have apparently heard this rumor and are concerned that it would be harmful to their business. --- cut here --- -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
