Re: Key Words
The other terms you have to check would be the fine print, along with that quote. Someone may state that it does not appear to be 'high quality content' and therefore the guarantee is null and void. Also, the TOS would most likely state that there are conditions to be met - i.e. certified AT&T installation, running AT&T equipment with your PC having AT&T software installed (spyware?), no 900MHz/2.4 GHz phones in the house, and that would still not guarantee outage due to line cut, power outage, upstream provider issue, etc.

they argue that content providers seeking guaranteed delivery of high quality content should be willing to pay.
I had 2 business T1's go out for more than a day (fiber cut) - and that was paying for high availability.
On a frame relay circuit into Northern California, it went down for more than a week, as 2 telcos + external had to be involved. MCI was the service provider, SBC was the local end in So. Cal., Frontier (ugh!) was the telco in Northern Ca which had a failure on a channel bank, and had to do a rebuild. Since Frontier was literally 'frontier' - SBC couldn't put in a local call through their automated system, but had to send a letter to Frontier, as it was so antiquated. |
