Re: Duh
Not a Floridian but I was in FL in Vero Beach in 2004.
I was at my parent's house helping clean-up after Hurricane Francis.
I can tell you the very last utility that was restored after BOTH Francis AND Jeanne (I didn't get out in time) was cable by a long shot.
Think about it. Does cable maintain an adequate full-time infrastructure work force? I am pretty sure most of the Subs that Comcast relied upon were making at least triple what CC was paying them doing clean-up after the storms.
Granted I am sitting here up North with my FIOS triple play which has not been down once in over a year since the install (even during power outages. I have a UPS connected to the ONT so I have yet to need VZ's battery.). But I have been there and done that Supergirl and wonder if you are gonna come crying about how long it took Cox to restore service after the next big one hits you.
Think about it. I hope you have a lot of minutes on your cell phone contract. You will need them. |
