   > When it went to flip into the backup, we discovered that the backup fiber had a break

   Pretty grim that a life critical system wasn't designed to report that the backup fibre was unserviceable until they attempted to switch over to it.

   I wonder how long it was down? Days, weeks, months?

      All these cable/internet service companies are incompetent as it gets.

      I am paying, $1000, $1800 & $1900 for the same service at 3 different location (20 mins from each other).

      Two locations, I also have old coax lines that are still active, but not paying for it.

      When I bought two businesses, I learned that they were paying for a dedicated fiber but using coax service.

      At one of the location, we had fiber, and paying for backup coax and wireless. But if you turn off fiber box, it wont fail over to either one.

      I wouldn't surprise it was down for weeks and no one bothered about it.
