Telford had a 28hr outage Friday... low SNR on one of the upstream cables? How great this 'advanced' fibre optic network is that my modem was offline but I could've run next door to lend my neighbours and hooked it up and got service, seeing as he is on a different CMTS. For an outage that long why can't they (temporarily) re-distribute CPE's to other accessible CMTS's rather than leave them offline for so long?
