I expected to get slammed on this one. Had all the devices charged up, I all ready had a 500 watt inverter along with a fully charged car battery & a car jump start pack on hand if need be. Last storm came through I was out for 5 days & had a basement full of water.
This time? Nothing, nadda, zip, zero, zilch. The damn lights didn't even flicker. Basement dry as a bone.
I'm not bitching, just sayin'
And a pat on the back to Comcast for helping out.... -- Petty people are disproportionally corrupted by petty power | |

| Re: caveats Yeah.. Luckily, I moved 2 years ago.. new home owners are now FEMA and NFIP's problem. There's only so long consumers can use a vehicle for charging devices before you put extra strain and reduced life of your vehicle for charging & using your devices (same thing with the a/c and heat) It's better to find higher ground WITH power, IMO. Gasoline is way too expensive to waste and make OIL companies richer then minimally necessary (evil). | |

| CT Still no Connecticut coverage!! Does Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon hate us :/? You may say that we have the partnered hotspots but those are very limited coverage too. Guess I can't be complaining though, the other states only have one town or so with coverage :P. | |

Yeah why did they leave out CT? I've seen the hotspots here. | |

 |  |  | | Re: CT They aren't the real hotspots. You can see from the map that the blue is partnered hotspots. They're probably only offering it to the Comcast hosted red hotspots. | |

| Re: Renew every two hours? It's good to see that they are doing SOMETHING to serve the interests of the community. Considering the huge amount of "bad will" Comcast has, this can only help their image, but it is still just a drop in the bucket, Comcast has to do much more to get a better rep that lasts. | |

 | | What about peering? Do we think the Comcast peering policy (»www.comcast.com/peering/) might be relaxed during these tough times, to help facilitate recovery efforts and give networks an uncongested path into their network? Would be nice to see. | |
