Electricity is Reliable? I'm still waiting.
rdhalsteatzd 20th Apr 2008
I'm only 2 miles from the city limits in a small subdivision. I installed a 9500 watt generator in March of 2000. Since then I have put over 120 hours on it due to power outages. My Internet (10 Meg on cable) and pone (land line) have been far more reliable. Although great for individual problems, I've found cellphones next to useless in real emergencies (All circuits are busy)
