At around 17:00 EDT our long distance came back up for both our Chicago office and our Aurora office. The call quality was at best 4 X 4 with some echo and just a little muddy. I expect that will improve and will check things tomorrow morning.<br>
I am pleased with the level of information I was able to find on this list as our friends at Windstream appeared to be just a little busy during this time. I am well aware of how little I like management asking me "How's it going" every few seconds (or so it seems) when things are broken and I know I can be just a little short on real info at those times.<br>

We hare not hearing anything like an ETR from our contacts (mostly in the business side of Windstream), just the unhappiness that goes with a major outage.<br>
