Minneapolis, MN | It wouldn't be an isolated incident for any carrier- they all have the same types of issues.
My problem is the horribly biased article, which sites as evidence of some kind of trend a 6 hour fiber outage, a cable cut, a fiber cut, and another outage of unstated duration. Two of the four outages cited were cuts- fiber and cable cuts can't be blamed on Qwest; and if the cut is between the CO and the customer, no amount of redundancy will prevent it. The worst outcome they could site related to this recent outage? Applebees ability to run credit cards 
Latency is sometimes up to 32ms higher due to interleaving, but more stable than many cable connections that numerous users have complained has major fluctuations in both latency and throughput. |
