In this day and age a week to get your connection back is crazy. Funny that they can come same day for a phone issue but not DSL. Time to make Internet access an essential service ! +1 ! - Approved !

There would be a lot of businesses affected but the economy would survive for a week.

Small business and home businesses would suffer big time. Irreparably. Payment systems and terminals. ATMs. Survive perhaps. Just barely. Not for long either. All hell would break loose. It's very much a big piece of the core fabric of our society. I can't imagine how anyone could argue against this, or not see this.

mlerner Premium join:2000-11-25 Nepean, ON kudos:5	reply to Mike2009 Big impact yes but again a lot of processes are paper based and many companies still use faxes so the bulk of the economy would survive. It's just that things like electronic payments would be delayed or unavailable for a period of time.

I never have cash on me so if I needed some as all ATMs were down it would be a problem.

Mike What you are missing is that it's not essential to you and me, but essential to say a Futureshop or an Amazon. Those guys however will will have SLA's on all their lines. We're moved from land lines to cell phones, but refuse to make Cell service essential either. These guys are so in the back pocket of the telco's it's not funny. -- No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car.
