Yep.  Replaced radio last night. Broken RJ45 female to female coupler, but couldn't tell what else got strained.  Still doesn't work.  Climber (on a TV tower) fond some nasty stretch/scuffs in the cat 5, so we will be replacing that as well, since we still have loosy connectivity with great sig

I hope everyone takes this opportunity to become multi-homed if you are not already. In our case, we were already multi-homed, but all of our IPs were allocated by Cogent simply because it was the cheapest place to get them. During this mesh we learn that our IPs were in some cases being null r

Only thing... A big company has a lot more leverage to control fair play with IPs than you as a small provider. When you own your own block, its real easy for a competitor (large monopoly) to block your IPs without hesitation. Much more thought goes into wether they will block IPs by a large
