We've been using T1's for years and never changed the connection to a faster Cable Modem. I am concerned about support, return to service. I cannot find in legalese Cable vs T1's FCC Regulations SLA's.

I'm very interested in what the current regulations are for returning T1 and Cable service to a business. I've not had too many issues with my T1's and when I have they've jumped on the issue immediately and stayed with it until resolved.

If I get a high speed cable modem for my business and it fails I'm wondering how I'm protected by the FCC for return to service.

In previous places I've consulted or worked at we've never started a production database at boot time --- for many reasons --- hardware issues during boot time causing corruption, unstable net connections to the database comm issues -- the list goes on --

If a server reboots due to an outage i don't want my database server, which is part of a database farm, to start up automatically until I've checked the system and db consistency.

What are your thoughts on this? -- I'm being told starting a db at boot is the "Right" thing to do and I fully disagree.
