Have you passed by local schools lately on your homeward journey from work? The old mind set that schools operate from 8 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon has drastically changed, and for several important reasons, many schools now operate from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. or later.

A client of mine had to use a 4G phone to get an internet connection when their DSL was gone. The phone company was unable to replace the DSL service until a week later. They had transferred their fax line to an efax service but unfortunately, that line was also connected to their DSL connection. Since the company processes loans, the lack of internet was a disaster. Loan brokers need a good connection to communicate with banks, companies and clients.
