Re: Not the AT&T of yore

People "expect" too much.

People expect reliability, because that's what we're used to.

What happened? When did we lose "developed nation" status?

When did we get arbitrary reasons for five "9s" availability?

We haven't, but I find it unreasonable to expect that there will NEVER be an outage and am slightly offended with people that take the "sky is falling" mentality when there is an outage. What did people ever do before 911, cell phones, cable TV, and other such "services" before they existed? The answer is, they managed to survive.

Maybe people need to get up once in a while and take a walk and stop worrying so damn much about everything.

Most of us weren't alive when there was no phone service.

And those that did manage to survive back then, did so for a much reduced life span.

Perhaps you should take the walk. Me? I'll take reliable services and developed nation status. No more excuses.

Yeah, I bet they never have cable cuts in Nigeria. By your reasoning AT&T should take down service once a week so people like you won't develop an entitlement mentality that leads them to expect that their service should not go down EVER for any reason at all, including cable cuts.

  A better solution would be to hire verolom See Profile as a consultant.

Ha-ha-ha!

Actually, they did a few years back, but then let me go.
