| Service Outage - Aug 27
As of right now DSL is not working. I'm posting this via a dial-up connection. I don't know where and how many customers are out, but I can't connect in Orleans. 310-SURF has an automated message stating there is service problems in my area (according to my phone number). |

Things are functioning in London, (not going to cycle the modem however just in case the login server has broken). What time did you loose it? -- ...A bitter ray of sunshine |

| Not sure, but it was sometime between 7:30 and 9:00.
Still not working. My router can't establish a PPPoE session at all. So, if you're still connected, now would be a bad time to disconnect or power cycle your gear.  |

| The only anomaly I had noticed was that a wireless access point I have renewed it's IP lease around 10:20 - not sure why - could be related, but I don't see how. Hey, there is a reason my DSL modem is on a UPS system, this is one of them.  -- ...A bitter ray of sunshine |

I experienced a brief outage as well in downtown Toronto during the afternoon on the 27th.
I have noticed over the last couple of days that there have been frequent dropouts of streaming radio as well, lots of rebuffering. During these occurrences I can still surf but it's useless listening to streaming radio due to the lags and drop outs.  -- "No matter where you go, there you are." - Buckaroo Banzai |

| I'd suggest using OpenDNS entries or any other Free DNS service.
openDNS * 208.67.222.222 * 208.67.220.220
Or try any of these, i use 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 myself.
Service provider: vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net * 4.2.2.1 * 4.2.2.2 * 4.2.2.3 * 4.2.2.4 * 4.2.2.5 * 4.2.2.6 |
