Spectrum service down

[leilanidude]

Different provider? I thought Spectrum was the only cable/internet provider.

Serious question here. Do we have a choice? I thought the lines running down my street were owned by Spectrum.

Yes, it's kind of why I found the suggestion of a backup laughable. The only reasonable backup is a cell connection, not another cable connection, and you lose bandwidth with a cell phone. It's yet another reason Kalakoa should not be taken seriously.

A backup system for internet is not laughable.

I have (and I suppose kalakoa does as well) a mifi device for internet backup. Of course using a cell phone as a backup doesn't work well. With Verizon service and the mifi device, I get a solid connection and 10MB download speeds, enough for Webex's. Ask nicely and your cellular provider will even install an external antenna with a signal booster.
