Computer/T.V. Provider Issues Today
 
How many of you noticed issues with your computers and t.v.'s today? We thought it was maybe our provider...but just heard that this issue encompassed a 10 state area. It seems to have been resolved now. Anyone know any details regarding this??

I had almost no internet connection from about 8 a.m. to about 11 am. when it all came back.
Have you heard anything else about what caused it?

We didn't have internet access this morning either. Also thought it was the provider which is Century Link. Where did you hear that the issue encompassed a 10 state area? Interesting.

I had no issue with Comcast internet and was online most of the day.

I was off as well with Century Link. Haven't heard anything about it being widespread. Watching the news and nothing mentioned about so many states.

The problem was only with Century Link. Heard it affected 14 states, but I don't know if that's accurate. What a pain

gerryann 05-07-2013 07:08 PM

Well, that explains that...thanks Blackie

asianthree 05-07-2013 09:02 PM

so can't blame it on comcast?

NotGolfer 05-07-2013 10:38 PM

Varying reports to how widespread this outage was. I read on the internet that it encompassed 17 states....with Washington and Alaska being amongst them. May have been more by the reports....NO reason was given that I could tell. Interesting it was "just" CenturyLink!!! Hinky Cyber-shananagans?? I'm just throwing that in for conjecture! LOL
