You might not know how often you have a drop out unless you are
pinging the net fairly regularly. I hit it once a minute with the
weather station. The outages were usually a few minutes at a time but
some went for an hour or more.

After a storm like Charley and Wilma, it was out for a couple weeks.
TV came back in a week but the net didn't.


My Outlook sends and receives every 30 seconds.


24/7 ?


Yes.

Comcast may just be better up there but it sucks here


It has it's ****ty parts, but it keeps humming along here at least!


My wife has a commercial account at work and they don't do much
better.


We had ATT at the office and it's DSL sucked, always going out, call
them, yes, there's an outage in your area, we expect it to be back in X
hours (or days!)
