Hmmm….No duct tape…. Might be an imposter…
We have three or four big telecom companies up here, one had the massive outage, the others did not. Luckily we have our phone, internet and TV on a different provider and didn’t lose connections to any of them.
The main impact was on finances, up here there’s a system called Interac which is an all-banks debit card setup, that crashed but VISA and Mastercard did not crash, so as long as you had those cards, no problem.
I had to laugh, a guy came on from that company and basically said they had figured out that the system crashed because the system crashed. Umm.
