Not so much the company itself just more along the lines of Large Corporations and Unions. Have a T1 at a local office here. For the last 8 days it has died 6 times. Each outage lasting at least 10 hours. RFO’s range from cleared while testing (my favorite) or bad wire cross connect or nothing found. The amazing part has been that for the three times they have needed to send a tech onsite they seem to only be able to get one here after 1am. Most of the time the circuit dies at noon. So 12 hours to get a tech dispatched. The Verizon call center in California try but say they can’t force the techs to dispatch because of the union rules in VA. Meanwhile I have no circuit.  **** the unions. They had a place and reason at one time and they still have a place in many smaller countries or developing nations but I really can’t see what they do to help the true workers in the US anymore other than protect the lowest common worker. Also *** the large corporations. I like being able to know the people I work with and have someone responsible for the product provided.

Novageeks.org has been many things. Today we try something new. Having been around on the Internet since the way back days I have always been involved in computers and networking in some form or fashion for a long time. In all this I have had minor interactions with public posting. Previously this site was a wiki, with that the small group known as Novageeks kept some url’s but mainly used it for email. Today many of us have moved on but some of us are still here and we all still like the Net. So now I will try some more involved public posting and we will see how that goes.
