Re: [OOL] Slow/Timeouts today in CT

I find this one funny...

... I know when the internet goes down it's annoying, but it's funny how some people think a few hours of outage equates to not paying for an entire month.

See the replies below, some people lost big bucks thanks to this prolonged outage and this board represents probably 0% of OOL users when you round.

A 14 hour problem is a big deal.

I'm sure people did. CV no where guarantees 100% always on service. I feel bad for them, no doubt, but 14 hours of no service does not equate to not paying for 706 hours of service.

Which is why someone who has a business that relies on an Internet connection should have a backup or at least a service level agreement.
