cell spot failure
Just went through Hurricane Ian. Power back after 5 days, however, Xfinity is still down. Since cell spot is dependent on cable modem, no service. Don't set yourself up for thinking you will have pho...
Having experienced Hurricane Katrina in 2005, I can say, with all sincerity, I feel your pain. We kept our wired (POTS) phone for ten years after Katrina because for weeks afterward it was the only thing that worked reliably. I could at least get on the Internet via dial-up and GPRS (slow but it got the job done). No calls would work between cellular carriers or BellSouth. This is when everyone started using text messages, as they got through.
I’m pretty sure that T-Mobile is doing everything possible to restore service but if you needed a CellSpot before Ian, I think you’ll be waiting on the cable company, which could be a while. It was months before cable was restored to our neighborhood after Katrina.
