Other than a month ago, when at the same time, 30 miles apart, two
different contractors `found' two different fiber lines and knocked out
long distance in two thirds of the LATA, I can't recall the last time we
lost our 'net connection.  In the year and a half we've been with Sprint I
don't think we've had an outage of more than two or three hours, probably
less than 12 hours in total.
