RE: Sandy seen costing telco, cable hundreds of millions of dollars
Agreed... I live in the same general vicinity in NJ as Alex and ATT service was pretty much non-existent anywhere there was no power from what I experienced. I have friends on Verizon to whom I've spoken and they didn't seem to notice as large of an impact at all on their cellular service. -Vinny -Original Message- From: Alex Rubenstein [mailto:a...@corp.nac.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2012 9:39 AM To: 'na...@jima.tk'; 'nanog@nanog.org' Subject: Re: Sandy seen costing telco, cable hundreds of millions of dollars Probably ATT.

They're mentioned twice in other context, but there's not a sites-online statistic for them. I suppose it's worth noting that this wouldn't be the first time they've caught flak for their (in)ability to cover NYC sufficiently. Jima

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission said on Thursday that about 19 percent of towers were still offline that morning down from 25 percent the day after the storm. Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group Plc, said on Thursday that about 96 percent of their cellsite were up and running, up from 94 percent the day before. Sprint, the No. 3 U.S. operator said that more than 80 percent of its network was operating by Thursday evening. T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom, said it had completed 85 percent of its restoration in New York by Thursday evening. However it is only 80 percent complete in Staten Island, a borough of New York. So which wireless carrier is bringing down the average to 81%?
