Wiz: Thanks for the post informing us of the site delay (https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=5234817). I have a few questions which you may be able to answer from your conversation with Michael Sheppard, or you may know from experience.
1.) Why would high speed modems be "incinerated" by the severing of fiberoptic lines? Hardware damage is usually caused by AC level fluctuations or extreme conditions such as lightning strikes.
2.) Is the fiberoptic interruption a localized problem (building or neighborhood) or regional? I can understand how the cutting of fiberoptic lines in the middle of communications (especially critical downloads) could cause many hours of delay. Generally however, down fiberoptic lines get re-routed by phone companies within minutes or hours unless of course, this is a problem isolated to FNTN's location.
3.) Why didn't the firewalls offer protection from the fiberoptic interruptions?
4.) What is their current estimate for site activation (hours, days,weeks)? Your post could have been interpreted as being bleaker than it may actually be.
Thanks,

Wally
