Power out again. My husband and I work from home and requi

buckeyetotexan : Mine flickered earlier...beyond absurd.

Our power isn't out thankfully but I worked this weekend and daytime television is horrible. I used to work remotely and had to go to another location to work because of the freeze and sudden link and ixfinty were all down. I was fortunate because my corporate office was in Plano and they kept losing power and internet service too and we got paid for the day regardless. It's barely raining though I've witnessed power outages during the summer in Kingwood with no wind/rain. I've heard that all the power lines are old and poor coverage with the trees ( what's left for now) Good luck but I would venture out for a couple hours and great coffee somewhere with free WiFi.

buckeyetotexan :
A whole house generator is very expensive and expensive to maintain. If your livelihood depends on home internet, you may need to consider Tachus plus generator combo. In 2024 you can't depend on the power supply.

buffaloglenn : They have to reboot, but on their own. But that's just a minor inconvenience compared to being out of power for hours. They don't reset when power is restored.

buckeyetotexan: while it would be the right thing to do, highly doubt they'll take responsibility. They'll say it's due to the weather and they're not responsible for that.

buffaloglenn : Do you have a whole home generator?

buckeyetotexan : Not a chance.

ExCTGuyInTX :
I was just asking. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

buckeyetotexan : If you decide to go with Quality Generators, please let me know. I can give you my "real name" and we both get a discount/gift.

ExCTGuyInTX : We don't. I have a large portable generator which covers us on longer outages. We won't live in this house long enough for me to commit to a whole-home system.

buckeyetotexan : For real! Given that Centerpoint's transmission charges have recently increased, one would think we'd get some increased reliability out of it as well.

If the power isn't out then the internet & cable are a lot of time in Kingwood but since I moved to Humble area last Spring, we only lost internet/cable in the area because of the freeze. I miss living in Kingwood but I'm there almost daily because my youngest daughter goes to KHS but I'm not missing the "why is the power/internet/cable outages, etc. Last week, KHS's power was out too.

buckeyetotexan :
probably not what is their excuse for the loss of power? Rain, and No flooding? erghhhhh
