@dbeato Stressful month all week today.. sigh.
I now smell like Grilled Hamburgers and dogs... Because - it's what's for dinner..
Now to get back at the work... ugh.. IT is fun, but could seriously use some down time. Even been thinking of activating the local park for POTA- Parks on the Air (ham Radio)
Also managed to update my ERL OS.
I hear you loud and clear.

Comcast is STILL DOWN. This is insanity. I can't remember any ISP with outages like this. It's like they have
running their networking infrastructure!Way different , I wouldn’t compare it like that. Any one around that customer also down?
Down Detector shows half the country down for Comcast, and certainly an outage centered right on top of them.
This is a completely standard pattern for this customer. This is the four or fifth time in the last few weeks. Totally expected. Just a little longer than usual.
I assume they then don’t another ISP available to them.
Does Comcast exist anywhere with competition? If so, why?

Yes, they do with Verizon and Altice at least in NJ.

It also depends of the location as to they why.

It was tongue in cheek. What kind of person would choose Comcast if anything else existed?

Well, for that situation (granted this was a couple of years ago), it was determined that cost of an outage (granted, they were much shorter than this) wasn't enough to justify other ISP options, which were much more expensive than Comcast.

Well, and which didn't exist, I believe. They were expensive because they weren't there.
These outages are so extreme now, though. I wonder if that assessment is still true.

If I remember, 50/50 fiber was pushing 1k. But it's worth another look.

Had a long talk with the six year old. She wanted to discuss room decorating, then some history of homes we've owned or grew up in, her plans for the future of the house here, etc.

At my mum's for Sunday dinner planning the rest of the day.
- pack the daughters bag as she's off for a week
- mount a TV on the other daughters wall. But need to mount a piece of wood first as it's going into plaster board and I don't think the bracket will hold do needs better support
- clean the downstairs windows. Then put a sticker thing on the door glass
- shower
- nothing!

Still dealing with the Comcast outage.
-
On the phone with customers.

LOL, trying to explain which cords are power and which are Ethernet. Oh boy.

We are finally back up, it was Comcast's gear that failed to keep talking to their network. Probably their local outage was too long for it.
