Quasi, the way you put it (careful and biased) you are right
no one ...shouldn't have a backup
because hey, "it's a limit"
nonsense
I say this
(and I know how right I am)
-if you have a shack of a house you better have a spare place!
- if you have a crap car, you should have a backup (another car, buses, AAA, whatever, but you NEED one)
BUT
- if you have a GOOD house
- if you have a GREAT car
NO need for backup
just TIMELY maintenance will do
back to our apples
just the same
down the line someone has a crap of a car !!!!!
if it's the ISP the crap then why buying or renting the darn car?
if the ISP on its own has some crap hardware or something, then the same logic applies !
bottom line is that somewhere down the line it is crap and since we are connected we get it
it's very pathetic
fwiw my own ISP did not let me down in like ...NEVER
I hope to not jinx it lol
The only time I was out was because lines were damaged by weather near house, and they fixed it in few hours after I talked to them
AND, AND, they offer compensation AND AND they offer me a backup through a different line !!! which I never used
and I am a regular joe the little guy !
like I said - it's VERY pathetic
we are all victims
