Cut off, it was like going back to the dark ages of the early 1990's

I was planning to continue posting about my time at the SWPP conference back in January but due to some idiot using his digger to break a whole lot of high capacity fibre near to J6 of the M1 on Tuesday I have been without broadband for nearly 3 days. You might have thought that there would have been resiliency in the network that linked many of the residents of Letchworth, Hitchin, Harpenden, Luton, Leagrave and Houghton Regis to the internet but there wasnt i.e. 10 seconds work in a JCB and we were all cut off.

I'm going to do some research now to see if other internet service providers (ISP's) have the same single points of failure in their networks and will be posting my findings here
