FYI, Mt. Sunapee isn't in Sunapee. It's mostly in Newbury, and the backside is in Goshen.

Way back in the day your skinny Jeep (so waaaay back in the day) could drive up some less-than-known trails up the back of the mountain, before the Muellers and money.

Reply to comment by xxpact in Xfinity Customers in Manchester have any of you noticed slower speeds since the outage that took out a chunk of the city last week? by xxpact

So here's the fiber along East Industrial Park Dr. in Manchvegas.

As you can see there are a lot of fiber cables along that road, and even a single strand of fiber inside a bundle will fuck up service for, pontially, a large area.

There's also a hub right there, so my guess is that the reporter didn't have the correct terminology for OSP fiber and when they said a "fiber" there was really a lot more damage then that.

The video in the WMUR link shows the bottom of the pole missing, and all those damaged splice cases. It would take a while to go through and verify what was still working/passing a signal vs. damaged/dark. Then you have resplice all that fiber after removing & replacing the damaged stuff. That takes a long time, and those construction guys in the bucket trucks probably made bank that day.

But.... they can't touch a thing until the utility company renders the work area safe by either cutting off power (which they wouldn't do just to let a telco do work), or cutting power and replacing the damaged poles. After the power is rendered safe an operational, the companies that lease space on the poles can go in to do their work.

That's why outages can take a long time to resolve.

Two things of note:

  1. Browsing my map I can see that Manchester is getting some RPD node replacements/upgrades. That'll make things faster than the existing analog node architecture.

  2. The last paragraph of the second article quoted a dummy. A car accident wiping out poles and cables is the definition of "unplanned", and as a customer you don't have the right to no anything other than what they tell you. If you want that info, try and join their board.

Reply to comment by klopeks_basement in Can you target shoot out in the forest off of mountain road in Sharon? I have been wanting to hike this forest and set up some targets way up in the mountains but am unaware of who owns this land. by [deleted]

I believe the shooting aspect on private, unposted, land only relates to in-season hunting. Using someone else's land for personal purposes without permission would be trespassing, e.g. the difference between stalking through the back of someone's 40 acre lot while actively hunting vs. dumping a pile of apples out there.

The shitty truth is that there's so little public land, so anyone can hunt on private property if it's unposted, and a lot of entitled dicks act like it (the private property) is their birthright to access the private land during the hunting season.

Anyone else doing anything else on someone's private property would have the cops up their ass.

If you Google (Carrier name) coverage map you'll probably have a solution to your question in two seconds.

The age of your phone also affects your reception, as new/newer phones have better antennas to connect to the expanded OTA bands.
