      @scotth said in Outage - Armstrong in N-Western PA:

      Could easily be.
      I'm not sure (maybe Windstream -- ugh) is the next hop up from one of our sites in NE Ohio and they were down all day Monday.
      Some odd behavior with our cell service lately too. We have dead spots where we have never had issues before. Verizon, in this case.

      The storms that came through earlier this week wrecked havock on infrastructure in NE Ohio. We still have roads closed and people we know are not due to get power restored till this weekend.

      At work I've cleared a record number of tickets this week because we had so many outages.

      My house has a septic tank 😞 Think they'll come hang out in my tank with scuba gear and wait for the fiber to pop through?

      I know a successful wireless ISP and basically in his part of the country it's cost prohibitive to get copper, let alone fiber, to his customers.

      I have worked with a successful fixed wireless company in the past as well. it is most certainly a good solution as long as it is done correctly. Not really any different than any other solution. Do it right and it works well.

      Exactly. It's almost all about the ISP in question, not the technology itself.

      And to clarify for the naysayers. The ISP includes the installation.

      @prcssupport said in Xfinity (Comcast) is rolling out a metered connection trial in Chicagoland and I am part of it:

      I'm involved in a project in my town to start and expand a municipal network. Do you have any more info, links and stuff to help with that?

      I was not directly involved in the planning or implementation of HCS (the second link above), but I participated in the community meetings and talked to voters and such to get it passed on the ballot. At the time I worked for one of the towns larger employers and was sick and tired of the poor service choices available.

      I am sure you can contact HCS and eventually get put in contact with someone that was part of it all to give you more information.

      Edit: Highland, IL is a bit unusual due to the fact that until deregulation forced it, the only place to buy electricity was from the city. Most towns do not maintain their own utilities. The benefit this provided to the fiber project was that the city already had rights to poles and easements to run the fiber.

      Edit 2: Highland, IL was severely under served for internet. For telephones service, the ILECs kept selling the town around until it eventually ended up with Verizon, and they don't want it. The infrastructure was never upgraded over the years nor was the CO equipment. There is not not even any 15 year old DSL available, because there is no equipment in the CO for it.
      For cable service, the town did get cable internet from Charter back in late 1999 along with all the other towns in the area. But like the phone companies, never upgraded the network afterwards. In 2007/2008 when the HCS project was still in meetings with residents trying to decide a path forward, Charter sent people to tell the residents what a huge mistake it was and waste of taxpayer money. But for some reason, the next month the town was swamped with Charter vehicles working on the lines and within months DOCSIS 2 level of service was finally available.

      Putting my Trello to-do list in the sidebar is also handy.

      Other nice stuff... the browser chrome color adjusts based on the average of the color palette in the site's favicon (or that's what I'm guessing based on my observations). Side bar notes are awesome. The overall UX is just really solid. It supports Chrome extensions but I haven't tested any for compatibilty yet.

      I did an "In My Area" search and all that came up where Time Warner at no more than 5Mb/s and FiOS DLS at less than 1Mb/s. 😞

      Utica and Rome I know have Verizon DSL and TWC but I don't think they have FiOS. It's a poorer demographic, sadly...

      It's sad because other than that one issue, Utica has some amazing downtown office space.

      But what are the 2 biggest problems in this area? Ignorance and apathy? Well, I don't know and I don't care.

      Ha hah a. Either of the two sounds about right. 🙂

      Ha, It's not either, it's both sound right.

      If you do not want your VMware host to reach the Internet or any other subnet, you could also not give it a default gateway thus blocking it from communicating over any router automatically.

      It's the computer I didn't want to reach the internet. However, I wanted the VMware to be alble to. I've, since then, achieved that mission.
