Gee. Seems to me Ma Bell updates CO software with virtually NO downtime.....
And there you see the difference between those that work on the telephone network vs. those that work on a computer network.

Telephone workers are trained to avoid downtime at almost any cost. Computer network people will reboot at the drop of a hat. Most network admin people care much about the idiots that actually use the network. The users are viewed as bunch of looser n00bs for the most part.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12850641 Mon, 07 Mar 2005 14:21:44 EDT Re: Software upgrade? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12843772 cngr96 : I remember a long time ago when AT&T did a software upgrade and shut down more than half of the countries long distance, and some local calling capabilities. Things happen, even with the Bells. I never noticed it here in the 847 area code, but could have been down. My syslog server shows there was network traffic between the ATA and Vonage during the outage time. The only question I have to ask is, why not do these things at 3:00am?
