1 edit | I can kind of see why missouri did this
After the great STL power outage, and how phone service was regarded by some cable outfits around here, this move does not suprise me at all. Anyone else in the STL area would probably come to the same conclusion.

"The PSC staff's complaint asks the five-member commission to direct its general counsel to press for a $2,000-a-day fine for Comcast in circuit court."
I would feel differently if there were some consumer or user groups asking for this. |

I did have POTS service the entire time and I think I also had DSL the whole time as well.
I only say that because my backup units kept one of my dsl lines up for over a day.
I was able to use a laptop and wireless connection and get online.
After two days of no power, the heat became unbearable so I decide to vacate to a hotel out west.
It was then that I also discovered that my cell phone did not work!
I ended up driving down to south st.louis and sure enough, the cell service was out in most areas as well.
So, so much for the argument of having VoIP and a Cell instead of POTS. It would not have worked. VoIP maybe had I had another battery to run the UPS.
Once I hit the country west of here, cell service did work fine.
Of course my POTS service never ever failed but I did due to the heat. |
