Re: DSL Down completely
I'm down completely in Newnan, GA. Netopia modem has DSL sync, but the "Internet" light is not on. I don't think changing the DNS settings will fix it. The modem isn't even grabbing an IP address. Like others have mentioned, the support line won't take any calls -- it just hangs up after a few seconds. Grrrr!! I got work to do! |

said by barton44  :I went to the OpenDNS site and it looks amazing. Is there any potential problem with using these DNS numbers permanently? My speeds are faster and according to their material, more secure. Can AT&T change my DNS back when/if it's fixed? Perfectly safe. I've been using them for quite some time. I suspect AT&T doesn't care if you're using the Opendns, if for no other reason than it's less load on their own servers. |

I called the AT&T DSL support number, 1-888-321-2375 from 2 different phones. It never rings, it just disconnects.
I asked a operator for assistance, she said that the line is busyed out. I informed her who I was calling, she said that a lot of people have called in.
I guess AT&T is WELL aware of the issue.
Thank goodness for OpenDNS!!! |

Working for me in FL. One router generally does not take down a whole region. However, I am using AT&T/SBC-SouthWest DNS servers. |

I have had intermittent problems since about 1830 here in Fl. The router has been in synch, but the connection was still down.
It's back up now - funny thing I can connect to DSL Reports, but I can't get to the ATT web site.
611, 877 #'s ring busy and when they don't ring busy no one answers or they get disconnected. Must be a huge hit somewhere

Here too in Jonesboro, GA.
I cant get to Bellsouth website and see alot of missing page, timeout and it comes and go and it is slow!
I call BLS support and a recorded region wide outage and wait time is 60+ mins if you want to talk to an agent.
Two days ago they did a upgrade to 770 code but I have no idea what.
And now this. |

DSL went out in Huntersville, NC (just north of Charlotte) as well. Switched to OpenDNS and things are working. I had the same issues with trying to call Bellsouth. "All circuits busy." or just a fast busy signal. |

I had the same problem until I changed my DNS server but my modem now says it is syncing at 5 mbps instead of 3 mbps which I pay for. |

Changed to OpenDNS addresses, working fine now.
Thanks for the suggestion. |

Apparently I still cannot connect to most websites after switching to OpenDNS on my router, I guess its because I cannot activate my account because I cannot check my email which does not work. However this site works. |

Try flushing your DNS cache: ipconfig /flushdns
