Re: Sudbury ON - FibreOP FTTH - job fair Thursday 6pm

CO's have gas turbines so indefinite run time.
(To clarify, all CO production equipment is on back up power)

I know in NS(Bell Aliant territory) when they had Hurricane Juan, techs sat out at the Remote offices with portable generators to power telephone equipment.

Thanks, good to know. Though I might not call it indefinite - with a hurricane, you have early warning the power may be out, but in the case of accidental outages like in 2003, the possibility of exhausting the fossil fuel supply is probably a lot more likely.

A friend of mine over in new sudbury has placed their order, so I'll be taking a look at the FibreOP terms of service shortly. Hopefully they are less contradictory than the ones on Bell Aliant's web site... But that's a whole other post.
