|  [LA] Tremor in the force?
Seems like Cox just lost it's connectivity to most of the net, at least from here.
I'm going to find Obi-Wan. | |

| Re: [LA] Tremor in the force? Yep. It's busted in Faubourg St. John. I thought I had burned up my modem for a while because some sites were working and most others were not. Maybe I had them in cache though. It's crazy that the time I really need Internet it's either slow or in this case absent. | |

New Orleans, LA | Re: [LA] Tremor in the force? My traceroutes die at the link between here and Atlanta. Occasionally an Atlanta router will answer with 'destination net unreachable.'
Oh well, off to bed. | |

Oh well, off to bed. fwiw, the internets are still cooking here. i know that some of my stuff gets off in californee-way, but a lot of my east coast traffic heads through la and atl before jumping. nothing seems to be down here....

1 edit | And their network status page only says that I may have difficulty using "easy" pay. Nothing about crippled Internet connectivity for everyone around here.
Maybe the cleaning lady accidentally pulled the plug out when vacuuming | |

| Glad that I finally saw this. My girlfriend and I came to the conclusion that "half of the internet was down". Bing works fine for searching, but Google is highly intermittent, and Yahoo search isn't working at all. Additionally, the DNS servers that I normally use (4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.4) are unreachable, so I have changed to use DNS Advantage (156.154.70.1, 156.154.71.1) for the meantime. | |

@com.br | Yeah, this sucks. I have customers calling and complaining at 2 and 3am on July 3rd......*sigh*
It's like most of the the west coast does not exsist. This happened a few nights ago and Open DNS is not responding due to cox either. | |

| I've seen this happen the last three nights in a row between about 1am and 5am I've had to resort to AOL dialup modems!! My initial (and current) take on it is that someone decided that they'd work on the system during those hours when there would be less people on-line. My PROBLEM with that idea is not only failing to inform customers of the planned maintenance, but doing it during a time when Tech Support is Closed. It's like its some big joke..."Hey, watch this... it's gonna piss EVERYONE off but there's not a damned thing they can do about it; and by the time they CAN complain it'll all be working again."
Oh, and in addition to the last 3 nights of consistent outages I've noticed for the last week or so that my modem has been loosing sync and rebooting several times a day and after each reboot the Downstream Power has gone lower. Its been running right at 0.0 dBmV for a couple of years but right now is sitting at -6.8 dBmV. | |

| Re: [LA] Tremor in the force? I've had very slow speeds since the problem the other morning. Speedtests give great results but most websites I hit are extremely slow. My clients on Cox are reporting the same.
Maybe when the weekday folks return to work on Monday things will clear up. | |

This is with the premium tier package and is like being sold the Brooklyn bridge. Since achievable speed and actual speed have proven so different, I believe we'll be going back to basic HSI and only get screwed half as bad from now on.
It sure must be tough being the only game in town. Look for my new book: How Not to be a Cox-Sucker. | |
