:The networks in Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, Brevard counties appear to
:be the most impacted. Cellular had problems due to wireless sites being
:without power. The wireless industry brought in 500 new generators in
:advance of the hurricane, but needed to wait until the hurricane passed
:before sending them out to the cell sites. Miami and Orlando also have
:sites down due to power issues and connectivity to local carriers.
:
:The various local access line providers in Florida, Florida has a lot of
:tiny LATAs and phone companies, report some access lines are down but
:haven't published any counts. Cable networks have the same issues with
:local cable service. No reports of damage to telephone central offices or
:cable headends.
:
:Due to power outages and local access network problems, bank networks and
:cash machines are out of service in most of the affected counties.
:
:No reports of problems to any NAPs, POPs, data centers or fiber trunks.
:They generally have permanent generators. So if you have local
:connectivity, Internet access is working. Streaming audio/video from
:Florida television and radio stations over the Internet did not have any
:problems.
Any details on the status of natural gas lines in FL, and approximately
how many facilities use such for generator power vs diesel?
