Hey there!
We are fortunate to have solar + batteries at our house, so we have been able to stay up during these multi-day outages in Redwood City recently. Amazingly, Sonic has been pretty much rock solid. Curious about this... Is this because it's a pure optical connection from our home all the way to the CO? Like... the strand of fiber that goes to our house... does it not have any electrical boosting or anything like that? Just goes on its own fiber all the way to the CO, so as long as the CO is up, our connection is up?
Or is it some other reason that it's been reliable, like backup power on power poles or something?
I'd love to understand how this works. Thanks!
