It hasn't been out here in a few years UNTIL the hurricane. Then out for several days, we had to go stay with the in-laws. I'm on CPAP and I gotta have power. I checked into a battery backup for it but it cost as much as the CPAP machine did.
here usually max 3 days
ill turn on kitchen stove if need be for heat and im ok

Our internet has been down all day, expected to be back tomorrow afternoon.
I wonder what backhoe driver hit their fiberoptic cable :p
I just got a message from Pornhub that there was a lot of free bandwidth capacity, so that might be true then.

Was it exposed because your internet company is too stupid to bury it? I ran over and cut my neighbor’s once with my snowmobile.

Not likely. This is a relatively new development and fiberoptic lines were standard. The entire area is out, however, which makes me think somebody screwed up, big time.

I always saw those huge rolls of the orange tubing they would bury on new fiberoptic service and I always figured it was full of bundles of fiberoptic

They buried the tubing from the box up to our house and imagine my surprise at seeing a fiber bundle the size of a pencil lead inside a tube about 1" diameter

May be the big cross country runs are actually full of the tiny mini bundle

They run them along the interstates. Sometimes in the median. Amazing really.

You probably haven't got fiber up in Alaska, isn't that Morse code communication that's used there?

I'm a bit anal on backup power I'd have to admit. 13k genset wired with a transfer switch, two stand alone inverter power backups on 400ah LiFePO4 batteries. I can run my computer and dish/tv for about 30hrs on the inverters.
I need to add a switch to the house. My issue here is the well is on the shop power, my detached garage has the extra fridge and freezer, and then we have the house. I may or may not have a suicide cord I can power the well pump with, lol. Got to be able to flush the crapper! I need to add another generator to the mix as well. I have two Honda EU3000s and a Miller Bobcat 250 engine drive. I can keep things somewhat going with that.
