Telephone Service
We've lost ALL of our US West telephone service today around 8:30am, no
dialtone, no ringing, not even battery and ground, which suggests yet another
power problem with the telco Discus multiplexing equipment (my residential
service is also out). I am trying to get someone at US West to get someone
out here to fix thier equipment. Because there is no battery and ground on
ANY of the lines this really suggests a problem with the Discuss multiplexing
equipment. The last two times this happened there was a blown fuse on the
Discuss the first time, the second time both rectifiers went down and the
batteries were bad. It took 8 hours to get someone dispatched the first time,
14 the second. I am calling everybody at US West I know to call but if any of
you have contacts there; that information would be appreciated.
