The Spectrum outage in Phoenix last Tuesday cost us a full day of payroll
Ngl, I always brushed off redundancy talk until our office lost connection for 7 hours in the middle of processing invoices. We ended up paying a temp to run to a FedEx store just to email files, has anyone else built a cheap 4G backup into their business plan after a scare like that?

My company lost a whole Tuesday billing cycle back in March when a backhoe cut our fiber line, so I get this completely. I used to think paying for a second internet connection was just wasted money for the big tech guys. That one outage changed my mind real fast because we had to manually track 14 hours of field work on paper before the network came back. Now we keep a cheap mobile hotspot in the office safe, it costs us like $15 a month and we only pull it out when things go sideways. It is not fancy but it has saved us twice since then, and honestly that peace of mind is worth more than what we pay for it.
