Does your business depend on live internet access for its core business? (yes)
So you should be looking at carrier redundancy - even a low-cap ihug satellite terrestrial link as backup. I'm quite sure that telecom's service is "best effort" and no liability for losses will be entertained. As someone else on the list said - you could pay more for a service level agreement from BCL (I don't think telecom/xtra offer a SLA for anything) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Swafford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 21 June 2005 9:52 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [OT] Public Liability - was Re: telecom outage First .. this list has been a bit quiet lately.. Second .. As it seems Telecom is not directly responsible for this "massive" outage, who is? More importantly what level of public liability are they accountable for? Third .. why isn't there another Internet access method - heck even bi directional satellite would serve. How did it affect me : My business was completely shut down for 5 hours.
