Foresthill Bridge -Â Auburn, CA
The famous Foresthill Bridge is the 3rd highest bridge (over 700 feet) in the US and is the highest bridge in CA. It was also featured in the film XXX.
I used this photo of the Foresthill Bridge in this post to illustrate service. This bridge connects thousands of people from one location to another on a daily basis, just like the Internet does.Â
Since writing my previous post, our Internet service went down. We had just had a snowfall, so we figured it was weather related and it would come back on in a few hours, or certainly by the next day. Then, we remembered the same thing happened to us last December!Â
I'm not going to point fingers at who was to blame, or go into detail about what all occured in this post. But, on the 7th day without Internet service (Satellite), we had to do something!
Since we discovered there was a pattern of losing our service every December, we decided to add dial-up service as a backup. It's a good thing we did, as it was 10 days before we got our Satellite service working again.
For anyone out there that is using a high-speed Internet service for business, I would highly recommend that you have dial-up service as a backup, if you don't already. It may be slow, but it's better than no service! Internet Service – Working Again!

That must be quite a nauseating view driving across that bridge. That isn’t highway 49 is it? That sucks about the internet service, I had some connection issues w/ Verizon DSL not too long ago but I think their major problem is an internal communication issue…
It is well worth the drive accross the Foresthill Bridge. It crosses the North Fork of the American River and the scenery below is beautiful! I have never walked accross it, but lots of people do. Maybe someday I will.
No, it isn’t on highway 49. It is on Foresthill Road, which connects Auburn with Foresthill – a tiny community a few miles out of Auburn.
We are pretty sure the main reason our Internet service took so long to fix, was due to internal communication issues also. The fact that it happened during the holiday season was also an issue.
