Plan for the outage before it happens, not after
Chanakya wrote in the Arthashastra that the prepared administrator does not scramble when conditions change, he has already accounted for them. In Nashik, Tiruppur, Bhilai, or Siliguri, a dropped connection is not a surprise. TRAI's network performance reports consistently show that smaller cities experience higher rates of packet loss and service interruption than metros, particularly during peak evening hours and monsoon months. The outage is a known variable. Treating it as one changes everything.
