Ah, they would get the disaster recovery trailer out to get the node running again...... Oh hang on theres not enough engineers these days, and I wonder when they last did a disaster recovery excersize in most regions!

I remember a lot of effort being put into a fully operational node for SDH and CATV in South Wales a number of years ago, but I would doubt knowing the current management and lack of technicains/engineers if there would be a viable, workable plan in case of disaster.

In the old days at ntl everyone would pull together, and people not on-call would help out in cases of problems like that. I think these days poor staff morale caused by the company would generally mean the customers could go and take a running jump!
