i had same experience starting about 4:30 today

 

Yeah, that's about when it started for me. Are you on Time Warner? Did you try with your phone?

 

ditto

 

We upgraded our DNS setup to give everyone more locations to get to the site from. The DNS changes caused the internet to lose the path to the site for a while. Hopefully we won't have any more issues with the folks that have been plagued by Centurylink issues.

 

^^^^
When they updated the DNS to help fix the issue with Century link customers it affected everyone until the name servers got everything propagated throughout the interwebz.

 

yes, I'm on Time Warner....and just happened again for the past 30 min or so

 

Same issue here with TW as well. Just got denied on my Android phone so I had to use the laptop. Oh well, I'm here now!

 

The second outage was NSA updating their routing paths. That always takes a couple of extra minutes.

 

Tw here also up for 5 min then down the up I feel like a yoyo

 

I couldn't get on CSC all afternoon. I think Ed answered what happened.

 

Was down for TDS as well. Obviously I'm back now. Wasn't as of about 30 minutes ago.

 

FYI, I've got AT&T DSL & I had issues, too. Just now got back on, had to go through a web search & the "about" page.

Glad it's fixed! I was having withdrawal symptoms!

 

I can get on with my Verizon phone. Can't access it through wireless using phone,ipad or computer. Yadtel Internet

 

Simple explanation. North Korea

 

I knew it!

 

I thought I was really popular yesterday. Alas, it was just a bunch of you weirdos messaging me asking if I could get here. I had no access through Verizon.

 

So was it the NSA or NK that attacked BGP to FUBAR CSC. SMH.

 

I was just about to get the ticks!

 

This is the first time I have been able to get on since Friday night on my computer. I'm on yadtel in Davie. I tried to connect through my phone on Saturday and couldn't then either.

 

Maybe in the spirit of prepping we should appoint and agree on an alternate site in case "something" happens in the future so we can still be in contact??????

 

Alternate site=bay 5 at RCWA

 

Every time I see this thread I read, "STRANGE OUTRAGE".

 

Here's some tech data for you non-geeks.

Basically, DNS changes can take awhile to propogate out to end users everywhere. This can be for many different reasons. Your ISP may cache some pages or your ISP may not refresh their DNS records very often.

OR, as in some areas...you may have XYZ provider, but XYZ is actually the only game in town. You're paying ABC for service, but ABC is merely subcontracting to XYZ and you may not know it.

There is an internet pop down here in Fayetteville with a fiber junction down near some large power distributiion. Some a-hole every other year or so hangs a target on there right before the start of deer season and takes out internet for half of Fayetteville for 2 or 3 hours. Doesn't matter who your provider is, that particular provider is your border gateway on a certain half of town.
