century link down during wind

The "switches" that convert from fiber or hi-cap circuits to copper or "pots" lines ( plain old telephone service) are called slicks or pair gain devices. A slick is basically a computer that increases line capacity and powers your land line or data circuits. The slicks require power to function, when the batteries run out they shut down and service is no longer provided.

For the bar K our slick is located just west of Rock Lake Rd on Overland.
