Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Broadband Bunch, host Pete Pizzutillo sits down with Lee Comer Jr., CEO of Go-Broadband, and Jeremiah Sloan of VETRO FiberMap to explore disaster recovery in the broadband industry. With extreme weather events increasingly impacting infrastructure, the conversation centers around real-world recovery efforts, the chaos of day-one response, and the emotional and operational challenges providers face when networks go down.

Lee and Jeremiah share guidance on how operators can prepare before disaster strikes—emphasizing the importance of having a single source of truth, building network path diversity, and developing a proactive, well-communicated recovery plan. They also discuss how disaster planning intersects with daily operations, how to make the business case for resiliency, and why a structured approach to restoration can mean the difference between days or weeks of downtime.
