It happened all over the D.C. area here when Hurricane Isabelle came
through a few years ago. We were lucky. Some were out for seven days.

And you control the ONE communications line, also? I doubt it. Even
here, we get cable outages of 2-3 hours at least a couple of times a year.

why major data centers have redundant links through different providers.
