So kind of a side comment to all this.

I'm thinking about how this only a few small breaks and whilst the internet is still up and functional it's crippled. Imagine what it would be if event took place in a few of the major data center cities. This would not bode well for the internet and it's "redundancy".

Hahaha serves them right. I hope it costs Comcast billions to fix it. I fuckin hate that thieving corporation. Comcast can suck a Michelle O. dick. I cut the cord two months ago and couldnt be happier. Using Slingtv now.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64614653


You should try YouTubeTV, it's even better than Sling or Hulu.

 Quoting: G3


Thanks for the suggestion. But I did my research and went with Sling because they have the most motorsports coverage. Im a big racing fan and only sling carries Motorsport.tv and BienSports which shows every MOTO GP race and lots of European racing leagues including DTM, BTCC and FIA WEC. That and the Blacklist with James Spader is about all I watch anyway.

Harrisburg PA with Comcast to a lot of our stores across the east half of the US.

We were up for about 30 min, but just took another hit to a lot of the stores. Things still seem very unstable. One minute nslookup to Microsoft for example works, and the next minute it will time out.

One of Comcast’s large backbone network partners had a fiber cut that we believe is also impacting other providers. It is currently affecting our business and residential internet, video and voice customers. We apologize & are working to get services restored as soon as possible

Sorry for the newbie question but does "fibercut" literally mean the wire is literally cut or can it refer to other technical problems on a relay?

from pcmag

Definition of: fiber cut
fiber cut

An accidental break in an optical fiber, typically due to new construction in the area. The telcos that laid the first fiber are more subject to fiber cuts than subsequent carriers such as Qwest and Level 3. The newer companies placed their cables into gas pipelines and other conduits that cannot be easily damaged.

Found this interesting...

"All services down in Birmingham for 3 days. Know some local ATT engineers and they said they have been told to not talk about it and the causal analysis is being restricted to most senior levels of management and that there's worry that stock prices will be impacted if national press begins story(s) about the outage."
