[PLUG] Another SpiritOne Question

[Russell Senior]

Ali,

Fwiw, when we lose power at our house in NE portland, the T-Mobile
towers all lose power too and I don't have any cell coverage without
driving out of the neighborhood to a working tower.  I don't know if
this applies to other carriers, but it has been my consistent
experience here.
