So whats new with Pittsburgh Verizon DSL

[David Farber <dave () farber net>]

Nothing. As of 0830 this am, access to some (maybe a large number) of 
Pittsburgh Verizon DSL customers has been down for 34 hours. When I 
called them I asked whether such service outages are appropriate for a 
communications company. After all there would be a major headline event 
if the telephone service was out that long due to human error. I was 
told that "after all, there is a federal requirement on telephone 
service not on data service.

I wonder what will happen as VOIP gets larger and outages like this 
take place.
