:The networks in Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, Brevard counties appear to :be the most impacted. Cellular had problems due to wireless sites being :without power. The wireless industry brought in 500 new generators in :advance of the hurricane, but needed to wait until the hurricane passed :before sending them out to the cell sites. Miami and Orlando also have :sites down due to power issues and connectivity to local carriers. : :The various local access line providers in Florida, Florida has a lot of :tiny LATAs and phone companies, report some access lines are down but :haven't published any counts. Cable networks have the same issues with :local cable service. No reports of damage to telephone central offices or :cable headends. : :Due to power outages and local access network problems, bank networks and :cash machines are out of service in most of the affected counties. : :No reports of problems to any NAPs, POPs, data centers or fiber trunks. :They generally have permanent generators. So if you have local :connectivity, Internet access is working. Streaming audio/video from :Florida television and radio stations over the Internet did not have any :problems. Any details on the status of natural gas lines in FL, and approximately how many facilities use such for generator power vs diesel?
