Tim, I have to answer these comments too...<<you lean towards the RBOC's,I leand towards HFC & fiber>>. Me too, except I don't just lean on HFC and fiber optics, that is what I have been living off of for many years while working at a RBOC. <<As far as donwtime,remember people are watching T.V. constantly and they are not on the telephone constantly>> Doesn't matter. Bellcore generic requirements set maximum downtime for telephone network availability at 53 minutes per year per line, regardless of whether or not the phone is off hook! It doesn't matter whether you make one call a month for two minutes, or tie up your line on the internet 24 hours a day. There are an average of 53 minutes a year per line when dial tone will not be available. How does that compare with the cable industry? I have been looking for years to find an authorative study on this, so if anyone has real data, post it here. My best guess is that the average cable system downtime per subscriber is measured in hours, not minutes. Remember, downtime is calculated regardless of how many customers might actually be using the services at the time the outage occurs.
