You know in this day and age of all this technology we rely so heavily on, a bit of rain and wind can bring the whole lot crashing to a stand still.
My internet has been suffering of late, so I contact my provider who tell me BT has issued an MBORC incident ( Matter beyond our reasonable control), the recent high winds have damaged the overhead network and the rain has flooded the ground level stuff.
What's the point ?
Britain is known for unpredictable weather, it rains a lot here, anyone could tell anyone that, even the foreign tourists know it, but we still have important communicational installations flooded by rain water.
Or is it excuse mongering because of the fact that the cheapest job has been done to protect profit and profit is to be protected at all costs, that cost being the customer who can't go anywhere else.
Now, I have just lost a blog I was writing, I noticed the slowing connection and tried to save my work, but lost it, but what I am doing isn't important, but those in business that depend or rely on the internet, what they do is important, so why are we relying on this unpredictable and flakey technology that weather not even severe can bring to a halt ?
Yes it s windy out there, a few showers and sun, so fast cycling weather, but life is continuing in all other respects except the internet dropping out rather a lot these days, where is the fault, machine , router, connection, provider or BT ?
And given our flakey technology are we riding for a fall ?
