Jose you have correctly identified a major problem. In defense of major companies and governments, generally their ISPs are owned by themselves or contracted out for 24X7X365 detailed service.
Hummmm, what if you have an Internet problem and no phone service? Is you Internet service POTS, DSL, cable broadband, satellite? A hurricane can take out POTS, DSL, cable broadband service. It can even destroy satellite dishes but that service might be the first once to come back on-line.

Perhaps this is one of the main factors of low reliability of ISP nowdays. They have reduced operations personnel and they have eliminated evening shifts, just to save money. If some propblem occurs between local Friday night and Sunday evening, there is a good chance that the problem persists until Monday morning. The worst problems are those related to the nameserver followed by mail server and router crashes. 73 Costas SV1XV Need a Digital mode QSO?
