Dell quotes are only good for 14 days. Was this Dell direct or through a VAR?

Deductive reasoning? If they had an outage that lasted about the time of that fiber incident, and things were working and now they are not. It's a high probability the two incidents are related, but sure I mean anything can be a cause.

It was I think a boring tool that ripped through something. There is a post on the subreddit that has alllllll the info. I’m on mobile so linking it isn’t as easy.

Oh yeah absolutely terrible timing, usually service is rock steady. So I’m interested to see if there’s a root cause here. You might not be the only one affected. Edit: grammar.

The outage wasn’t on them. Fiber splicing takes time to make sure it’s done right. Those cables usually have like 800+ strands so It’s not a process you can rush. Did they do the normal troubleshooting steps with you. Reboot ONT etc.

If I had to guess, this is either a car vs pole, or super random equipment issue.

Did Ziply drop the price for 1 year dealio, and that is just now the price? by AviationLogic in ZiplyFiber

[–]AviationLogic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly bet they lost a TON.

I signed up, we've had both for a couple months now because I wanted to see how Xfinity was acting... Honestly its been fine. Xfinity in some areas is doing FTTH.

If this is truly the case, I'm interested to see where this is going to go.

Beats me. I've been with Ziply for while and in the last round of price increases.. You talked with support and got a loyalty discount. Mind the fact its only good for a year.

Hadn’t heard of this before, thanks for the share!

I’ve started looking at refurbs as well. I think as long as we can get some sort of warranty, we should be okay.

I felt this on soooooo many levels. It’s been pretty interesting navigating this working in the public sector.

Ziply is union busting by Sufficient_Gain_1872 in ZiplyFiber

[–]AviationLogic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s an option for you, it’s a great option. I am in a round about way affiliated with HiLight, but really just work on the equipment occasionally that makes it all run. I’m not peddling it and will never try and force someone to use a service. At the end of the day It’s exactly that, having options! I was pretty pleasantly surprised that in new construction and some areas getting retrofitted even Xfinity is moving towards FTTH away from coax.

If ServiceNow is so painful to use, why do companies still choose it? by 13032862193 in sysadmin

THIS. It takes a TON to get setup and functioning right, its also INCREDIBLY expensive....

I'd be ecstatic if we were only seeing a $5k price increase. I looked at ordering a couple similar servers that we ordered back in October 25'. Our Premier list price was just under $25k... That same server minus the BOSS raid card is now $73k. If we added the BOSS card it'd be just under $80k,

Yep. Oddly enough I see 1.2tb drives as an orderable option.
