In the middle of a few bad days at work, I managed to sign up for FiOS at the roll-out (after months of digging up streets in the condo complex) and and then worked from home for 3 hours last night.
Now what did I get home to this evening?
Everything was out when I got home! How did they find out so fast about FiOS?
Good thing it wasn’t last night!
Apparently it is an area outage. The Comcast rep cannot tell me how big, how long or when it started, of course. In the old days, they would have more information available, and I am thinking MediaOne perhaps, and say that a head-end went out or something.
At least I will get a day’s credit. Wow.
One thing about an outage like this is that you get to see what software can handle the lack of connectivity. Some things used to scream about not being able to phone home every minute or two. Things seems to have improved on that score at least.
And it is obviously back up.
Timing was just so, um, Odd, though.
