>>54504638
>Incompetence
blamed on cyberattack
I'm sure
>>54504638
I just got back online, Charlotte area. looks like it was some kind of DNS issue.
>>54504638
Was worse earlier, with more of the nation in red.
>>54504649
Wouldn't that seem worse than if it was just some dumbass?
>>54504664
Yeah, I read that using Google's DNS was a workaround. I'm just surprised at how big the outage was.
>>54504759
it was big enough that it even killed Charter's office internal phone system
So how about that merger with TWC?
>>54504813
How'd you find that out?
>>54504814
That was Comcast
literally thought they were just throttling my shit for piracy. then it went out but it was rainy. holy fucking fuck are we screwed if somebody actually attack
>>54504835

>>54504664
so the internet wasn't even down.. just the dns server
idiots
>>54504638
Why are these idiots buying up muh TWC?
>>54504845
huh? If this was the prelude to an invasion, why only attack a smaller ISP?
>>54504852
THOSE STUPID NIGGERS
>>54504638
>DNS problem
Staight incompetence, was down for like 3-4 hours
>>54504883
>a smaller ISP
NOT FOR LONG FAMILIA
Sure feels good having Comcast right now.
The other day Cox Cable and Time Warner went down in a pretty damn huge outage in CT/RI/MA. I had no internet, phone, or tv for about 8 hrs. Supposedly some construction worker cut a fuckhueg fiber optic line.
>>54504664
Durham area. Been having issues as well.
>dns issue
people don't have redundant DNS backups listed on their router?
people don't have a dns cache on their router?
how do people even live
>>54505314
idk. I didn't have internet at my house until this summer.
>I'm 21
>>54504638
charter in washington here, everything is gr8
also why the fuck did /g/ have nothing to say durign the Verizon to Frontier change over last month when LA, Dallas and Tampa was all down for almost the entire month cause verizon didnt bother giving frontier any info of customers or how they routed their traffic
>>54504892
wait, ppl on /g/ actually use the ISP DNS servers?
and charters none the less, their spoofability is literally shit, i just tested them on Leo's site
quickly changed to NTT
Oh so THAT'S why I wasn't able to connect til a bit ago, SE MN here.
>>54505926
did you make a thread about it?
>>54504688
>dumbass
After I saw a mid-level supervisor accidentally format a drive containing at least 10 years worth of work done by 30+ people, I am unable to be surprised anymore.
>of course the backup had died shortly beforehand
>they did an investigation because they wanted to hit him with criminal charges but they discovered that nope, he really was just a dumbass
>>54504638
That's much better than earlier. They really fucked up
>inb4 screenshot of a screenshot. My friend sent me this
>>54506036
Good thing he circled the red area or I would have missed it
>>54505971
yes, it had the frontier bald spokesman as the image talking about them trying to blame a fiber line being cut in some small town near Tampa causing the entire fucking nation going down
>>54506066
kek'd
>>54504638
One mans cyber attack is another mans incompetence
>>54505926
>trusting Frontier to do anything right
>expecting Verizon to do anything right but payroll and billing
