1 edit | It doesn't count? If you ran a large network and a huge chunk of it was essentially totally destroyed, what would you do?
You could look at it two ways. You could delay the deployment of new technology because you have to spend mega millions on buildings, switches, equipment of all types and replacing all the damaged/destroyed wiring and poles that were snapped like match sticks.
Or, since you have to replace this stuff anyway, you could include the upgrade to your network as you rebuild it, which, logically, would be the way to go (and probably, most of the equipment in these backwater areas was old as methusela to begin with). You still have to spend mega millions either way, which means that the likely outcome of the expendature will impact and delay the deployment to other parts of your network, if only for reasons of manpower and logistics to rebuild the destroyed part of your network.
I shudder to think of the sheer size of the problem, since vast areas of the network in THREE STATES were, essentially, TOTALLY DESTROYED. I dont think all the pat answers and snide comments quite cut it here, do you? |

I think Bogey knows that was sarcasm, maybe I should have used a different smiley to make sure everyone knew. |

You think Bellsouth is behind in technology take a look at Charter Cable service.  |

With caps on d/l thats advertised as unlimited and slower latency than dsl...heck..I can't even reach certain web sites on comcast that I can with bellsouth. |

Yep I am one in the area that was destroyed. All bellsouth could say was it would be fixed as soon as possible. Well it took 2 months. Was upset but cable still out after 100 days. Go figure. Quicker to replace with stock and not upgrade and wait for new and improved parts. Still a long time glad they chose to not go fiber. Who knows cable might have been first then lol. Those who have cable say unreliable at best. Oh I have sat. tv so I am the place for internet and tv in my area. |

| Eden Isle, the Rigolets, or Bayou Liberty?
Odds are if you're Eden Isles ot Rigolets you got a temporary set up. They'll place new permanent better stuff in when they have the situation nominal. |
