NY1 - The Call (@NY1thecall) tweeted at 3:56 PM on Thu, Nov 01, 2012:
Adorama on 18th Street between 5th and 6th has set up a free high-powered charging stations for cell phones and electronics.
The M train joined the list of restored subway services earlier this afternoon, in time for the Thursday evening rush period. M trains is operating in 2 sections: Between Myrtle Avenue-Broadway and Metropolitan Avenue. Between Parsons-Archer and 34 St-Herald Square making train stops between 71 Av-Forest Hills and 34 St-Herald Square.
Additionally, 7 trains are set to resume partial service at about 9 p.m., tonight, running between Main Street and 74th-Broadway, where customers can transfer to Queens Boulevard F and M trains for the trip into Manhattan.
Sprint was clearer about the status of its network, specifically in troubled areas, saying 20 percent of its network was still down in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It said on Thursday that it had made improvements but still faces challenges.
In New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, Sprint’s network is more than 80 percent operational, but challenges remain for the hardest hit areas of these states, including metropolitan New York City and portions of the New Jersey coast. In New York City, for example, approximately three-quarters of the network is operational, but challenges remain in obtaining commercial power, backhaul connections, and gaining safe access to cell sites.
T-Mobile USA, too, had some details. It said on Wednesday night that 15 percent of its network in New York City was down, and that in Staten Island 20 percent was still down.
T-Mobile reports good progress in restoring network service to areas in the path of devastation from Hurricane Sandy. Network technicians are working as quickly as possible to restore service by deploying generators to cell sites where power outages continue and to repair damage caused by high winds and flooding.
T-Mobile is working closely with the N.Y.C. Department of Emergency Management and with FEMA to gain safe access to areas of the City where storm damage was extensive, including parts of Staten Island and lower Manhattan. We’re happy to report that network restoration in NYC is now at 85 percent and Staten Island has improved to 80 percent. The agreement between T-Mobile with AT&T to share networks in N.Y. and N.J. is already providing customers of both AT&T and T-Mobile improved experiences in the hardest-hit areas.
The midget POS needs to cancel the marathon. He's out of his fecking head in the clouds billionaire mind if he really thinks he's making the right decision.
A million kudos to the Nicotras for refusing to honor the reservations of runners and refusing the personal request of the NYRR president to boot people who lost their homes on Staten Island to house those selfish POS. The Staten Island Hilton will ALWAYS be my first choice of hotel whenever I have guests or a function from now on for this amazing and TOTALLY CORRECT decision.
