I get the impression that anyone who knew much was close to retirement age 
and has since done so.  They got it fixed about 2pm-ish, and a bright eyed 
young man who have have a light or 2 on upstairs called me to double check & 
had me check the DSL bandwidth too, and its all back among the living again.  
He claimed a pedestal over on Monroe street a few hundred feet away was in 
bad shape and corrosion had gotten to several connections in it.  I can 
understand that if its anything like the one at the back corner of my place, 
I am surprised I don't lose my phone every time one of the 2 dogs in that 
back yard hike his leg.

Scream at the FCC.  They are the ones issuing the licenses I believe.  
Although, after what they did to my 1st phone 30 years ago, I don't have 
enough hope to hang my hat on it.

While we're at it, take an MBA.  Someplace he can't swim back from...  That 
is whats wrong with most of these big outfits, being run by MBA's who spent 
2 years getting a degree in whatever you don't get caught doing is ok.
