 CS>> One of the ports went bad.
 MK> That's the story of my life. :-/

I know that feeling

 CS>> I got a new one.  It was 7 years old.  Anyways, no more rental
 CS>> bill for the old one!

unfortunately they won't let you add a customer owned one to the gigabit
package :(

 MK> I hear you. In my case I am still renting but the latest one is only a
few years old and thus far hasn't given me any grief
 MK> other than when there is an outage usually due to wind damage to the
infrastructure. Speaking of which, any damage your way
 MK> due to the latest storm? It looks like Florida will be down for awhile.

down south it's nuts right now. pretty much 90% of the power grid
infrastructure is non existant (in a usable state), same would go for the
phone and cable. there are some areas which are just completely "hiroshima'd"
and are going to take forwever to get back to any sense of normal.

there's little to no gas south of sarasota on that side of the state.

thew power companies though are hard at it...a cross the state ( beeleive the
last nunmbers i heard) there was just shy of 2 million cusrtomers out after
the sstorm and it's now something like 600,000 and they're all down south.

according to poweroutage.us/area/state/florida

Florida
Customers Tracked: 11,125,489
Customers Out: 400,358

which isnt too shabby.. and yea... they're all down in lee county and
surrounding areas .

their goal according to the last news i heard at 5 was that for those people
who have a "livable structure" with some form of power infrastructure should
have power by friday night (it was sunday this morning). those in lee counties
obviously is going to take longer.

We got lucky over here on the east coast in daytona though.
