Telephones Out US West Coast? Armond Perretta 10-18-2005

This morning my NextAlarm service was out for about 6 or 7 hours. Neither
my alarm nor my regular service could get through. Later they came back up
with the story that telephone and Internet service was disrupted on the West
Coast and that the outage was beyond their control.

This sounds like nonsense. First, the "Internet" cannot be "out" in any
particular region. It's just doesn't function like that. Second, I cannot
find a single mention of a disruption of telephone service in the US for
this morning.

Verizon had a huge outage this morning affecting incoming calls South of
Los Angeles from around 2:30am to somehwere around 11:30am, 911 service
was also out in the affected areas. I think area code 562 was the
hardest hit with some 714 & 310 codes also affected.

Next alarm I believe contracts some or all its service to GMS in Long
Beach, CA, since Long Beach is in the 562 area code its very likely that
they were down this morning.

NextAlarm has no backup contingency? tsk tsk.

All right, I'll bite: if your local phone company (or LD provider) has a
massive outage, how exactly do you have a backup for your digital
receivers? Sure, people can pay extra for radio or whatever, but what do
you do for the people who only have a dialer if your receiver lines are
down?
