Maybe it is very costly to do? Charter Pipeline service in my market is
not multi-homed either. Neither am I at this point. I used to be
multi-homed in the days when 2 T1s did the job. It is not easy to swing
redundant fiber runs in a town that is 75 miles from the nearest
telco-hotel. When I get multi-homed fibers here then I will probably do
that through a mini-telco-hotel facility here and make that place a new
business opportunity in itself.

It does make you wonder why the ISP in question wasn't multi-homed.

Thank The good Lord above that I never signed the TelCove contract
for bandwidth last year!. I mean, you really have no idea what the
local provider was doing wrong, but to turn off a school district and
fire CO on that system, COME ON!. You can bet the lawsuits from the
school district alone will make Level 3 think twice about doing this
again?. If you have an offending server, the stupid thing has an IP
address, Block it!. I would hope that Level 3 has enough smarts to do
this?. Even a little guy like me knows how to block an offending IP
address, and I am stupid, LOL!
