[Outages-discussion] [outages] ATT Internet Restoration after Helene

[Charles Sprickman]

Just curious - this post notes that fiber lines might be disrupted, but do the carriers not have portable mini-cells anymore? Is VSAT for backhaul just too expensive for them to bother with it?

I feel like in prior decades getting temp service in disaster areas seemed to be the norm...

I'm aware that ETR's will vary widely by location.  However, most areas are getting power back, so at this point it should be a matter of repairing damaged fiber.  Just checking a couple sources, sightings of ATT trucks in the area have been very rare so far.
