There is redundancy but I'd like to see you design a network which can offer no downtime at all for every customer in the country if somebody breaks into one of your main comms hubs and steals/breaks everything. You don't have an unlimited budget BTW.What no reundency??
Having a hot/cold standby data center is relatively easy but when it involves a major comms hub then it becomes much more difficult. The Vodafone network appears to have multiple large comms nodes around the country which serve the surrounding regions. A region can go down and the rest of the network will route around it but everything within that region is down until it can be repaired.
Quite a few telco providers have a portable telephone exchange system in a truck which they can drive over to a damaged or faulty exchange and plug in. Still takes time though as "plugging it in" doesn't involve a giant plug on the side of the building with millions of pins.
PSTN :Pcan't even call my wiife
They do and they're working on it.not a good show, surely they must have some DR plans !!!
I can understand you being annoyed at Vodafone but blaming their infrastructure when it really isn't their fault is a bit harsh. There is only so much you can do to prevent this sort of problem occurring and any DR plans would involve time to repair. Its never going to be instant unless you've got extremely large budgets i.e. military or government. -

Oh I not really that peed of to be fair, always the office phone like you say.Quite a few telco providers have a portable telephone exchange system in a truck which they can drive over to a damaged or faulty exchange and plug in.

Actuly last place I worked we did have exactly this, on the outside of the server room builsigns, a fat wad of fiber connections.
drive up lorry, plug in 5 min reepatching and of you go... if only thats really how long it took in practice when we tested it

Do they have 3G over in that part of the country?
I kid I kid, my better half is from the Barnsley area and if she saw my statement, I'd be buried under the patio when I got home.
It dropped for a short while in Manchester this morning, around 20mins or so but has been fine since. Seeing mindless acts of theft/vandalism like this just makes my blood boil.The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they are genuine - Abraham Lincoln -
