Good Afternoon,
This is just a general question. Do any of you telecommute for jobs stateside? If so, what field is it that you work in? Do you currently travel back and forth on a regular basis? Just curious. Thank you.

I am doing it here from STT for 6-7 weeks.

I'm still doing project management consulting for a company back in the states. I do almost everything remote and have to go back there every couple months, but otherwise, everything is conference calls, skype, IM, etc....

Redundant capacity is an important consideration.
One of my business clients has Choice, Innovative and Hughesnet.
One would think 2 ISP's iwould be enuf, but there have been times both Choice and Innovative have been down at the same time.

I work on the internet and "access" was a major concern before I moved down.
Turned out it wasn't that big a deal.
When the power goes out, I just take a break.
If I have to, I can use my phone to do the net thing, but haven't had to do that hardly at all.
After Hurricane Omar, I used my cell phone to get emails and access online databases. No big deal.

Wish I had the luxury of "just taking a break" -- not in my field!
Redundancy is the name of the game down here; I access two providers and tether through my AT&T phone as my tertiary backup. Stability is much better in some areas of the islands than in others.
