Lady says this week's mischief award goes to Rogers Telecommunication, one of only 2 real providers in Canada, who had a huge outage on Friday and into the weekend. When we say huge issues we mean cell, internet, home phone, paying at the store, access to emergency services like 911 etc. Lady and Man's phones are with them, so they had no phone but our 2 internets are with other people (that is right they pay for 2 different internet providers, a satellite and crappy as usually one works - Fibe is expected to be here in the fall). Man's work phone is also on the other monopoly Bell, so if there had been a true emergency they could have called for help.

The cause was some maintenance update or something. Seems like they have something to fix so this doesn't happen in the future!
Lady also says, it is further proof that a monopoly is only a good thing in a board game, but she isn't sure how we go and change this. She also said, she is done being part of the headlines!
Impact to the dog lives - 0 - causes of mischief by dogs 0 - so we say it was a good week!
such a monopoly brings only bad stuff... even as a board game... you have to swallow a token to avoid to lose da game...
ReplyDeleteso glad the power being out did not cause pup issues. sorry about the internet, Bob doesn care but I would be disperate.

ReplyDeleteEven with only two providers, you'd think their sense of competition would have them working better for their users... then again... we do have outages, but they are dealt with pretty quickly on the whole. Still - I quite understand how Lady considers this to be mischief!!! Glad you pups were unphased by it all. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Oh Phod and Lee...the life of being snoopervisor to 2 humans is tiring.
ReplyDeleteWe should bundle, phone, internet and tv under either Spectrum or AT&T, to save $$$. However if we did when one of them goes all is gone. Thus we have Spectrum tb, AT&T phone and internet.
Hugs Cecilia
Do not pass Go. Go directly to Jail. And no get out of Jail Free cards either! We read about this in our newspaper and online: bah hum bug on limited providers!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds pretty scary! Worse than thunderstorms. We remember the big ice storm of 1991 here in WNY when the power went out for a week or more. There were no cell phones back then, and the land lines mostly still worked. (Hmmm, maybe we should reinstall our old land line telephone … ) Glad you're all OK now.
ReplyDeleteHailey and Phod, we are so pleased that at least you two were unaffected!
