What I don't understand is why Etecsa doesn't have replacement equipment. They want to extend the service, but they can't guarantee that someone's equipment will break down under certain circumstances and have to continue paying without receiving service, and there's no solution. My equipment was damaged due to high voltage, and there's no way to replace it. It's inconceivable.
