So you hear of people randomly talking about how their internet connection drops every now and then...
Theres nothing like shutting a city down from internet access Yeh! and thats what happend today about 1:30pm this afternoon. A power outage shut down one of our central hubs, that supplys a city of medium size, about 80-100,000 people. Not a problem, we have backup generators right? Yea, we do.. but compliments of rain the generator and a faulty ground in the same building as the switches... What happens next? Generator shorts out, and in a matter of seconds around $150,000 worth of switches and other equipment POOF! Gone. So there it is.
