I'm pretty sure the WISPs in the Santa Cruz and Gilroy/Morgan Hill areas
were all also taken offline due to the fiber cut. (Roy, can you verify,
for south county?) Anyone in those areas who relied on a WISP as a
backup to their fiber/copper link found that their "redundant" system
wasn't really redundant after all.
You may want to check (verify) how your 2 main providers handle their
backhaul.
