AT&T Visual Voicemail Outage
by Jason J. W. Williams 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

We're seeing a Visual Voicemail outage (no indicator) in the Boise Idaho area at least. Calling AT&T you get a message saying they can't take any calls at this time. -J -------- Jason J. W.

That is crazy expensive to lay and maintain. It's all a mix of WDM and SONET transport. It looks like both Wavecom and Oceanic were down and they have an agreement of some sort with HT in the case of situations like these. So, it's all going over HT's fiber at this time. I'm going to miss all the excitement now that I don't work for Hawaiian Telcom any more. I start a new position on Kauai at the PMRF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Missile_Range_Facility) Monday.. ;-) scott ------------------ ------------------- -------------------- _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages(a)outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages

Google Apps Google Talk service

The person I spoke with at Google said they were aware of the issue and are working on it. I'm kind of irritated with the fact that is has been 3 hours and wasn't posted on their very own status board: http://www.google.com/appsstatus But hey, Don't be evil.

Anyone else notice issues with comcast dns servers today? It seems in the past 20 minutes their 'anycast' instances have started returning packets from the wrong source ip when querying the following: nameserver 68.87.72.130 nameserver 68.87.77.130 2010/07/28 12:41:47| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.132:53 2010/07/28 12:41:53| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.131:53 (retrying...6<=60) 2010/07/28 12:41:58| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.131:53 (retrying...11<=60) 2010/07/28 12:42:09| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.132:53 (retrying...22<=60) 2010/07/28 12:42:17| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.132:53 (retrying...30<=60) 2010/07/28 12:42:39| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.131:53 (retrying...52<=60) 2010/07/28 12:42:57| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.131:53 2010/07/28 12:43:21| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.132:53 (retrying...24<=60) 2010/07/28 12:43:27| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.132:53 (retrying...30<=60) 2010/07/28 12:43:30| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.132:53 (retrying...33<=60) 2010/07/28 12:43:39| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.131:53 (retrying...42<=60) 2010/07/28 12:43:42| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.131:53 (retrying...45<=60) 2010/07/28 12:43:52| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.131:53 (retrying...55<=60) 2010/07/28 12:44:11| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.131:53 2010/07/28 12:44:31| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.131:53 (retrying...20<=60) 2010/07/28 12:45:12| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.131:53 2010/07/28 12:45:57| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.132:53 (retrying...45<=60) 2010/07/28 12:46:02| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.132:53 (retrying...50<=60) 2010/07/28 12:46:07| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.132:53 (retrying...55<=60) 2010/07/28 12:46:16| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.132:53 2010/07/28 12:46:27| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.131:53 (retrying...11<=60) 2010/07/28 12:46:47| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.131:53 (retrying...31<=60) 2010/07/28 12:46:49| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.131:53 (retrying...33<=60) 2010/07/28 12:46:55| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.132:53 (retrying...39<=60) 2010/07/28 12:47:00| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.132:53 (retrying...44<=60) 2010/07/28 12:47:07| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.131:53 (retrying...51<=60) 2010/07/28 12:47:10| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.132:53 (retrying...54<=60) 2010/07/28 12:47:20| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.131:53 2010/07/28 12:47:40| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.131:53 (retrying...20<=60) 2010/07/28 12:47:47| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.131:53 (retrying...27<=60) 2010/07/28 12:48:00| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.72.132:53 (retrying...40<=60) 2010/07/28 12:48:40| WARNING: Reply from unknown nameserver 68.87.77.131:53

Oceanic: Severed Underwater Cable Caused Outage
by Paul Ferguson 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Being on vacation on Maui, I hardly even noticed the outage until I heard about it later this evening. :-) FYI: [snip] An Oceanic Time Warner Cable Internet service outage hit the entire state for hours on Tuesday. Viewers from the Big Island and Maui reported problems receiving television cable reception and/or phone calls on Tuesday morning. Oceanic Time Warner Cable said it had a problem with its fiber optic cable. Oceanic Time Warner Cable Vice President Norman Santos said the cable between the islands was severed about 30 miles south of Kihei. The cable is about 3,000 feet below sea level, Santos said. The outage began at 1:10 a.m. Service was lost to Kauai and Oahu for about two hours, Oceanic said.

Rackspace DFW1 packetloss

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest I have no idea what I'm doing but Comcast tells me that they are incapable of helping me solve all the internet connectivity issues I've been suffering over the last month. They recommend that I contact the companies that own the offending servers in order to ask for help. This is a very big for someone like me; having virtually no technical skills or a vocabulary for dealing with "issues" involving the internet. Still, I need to work and simply cannot until the matter is resolve. Hence this email to You, whoever you are :-) I have left a voicemail with the gentleman below because his name is associated with one of the servers that has been plaguing my connections; 75.149.230.242. I do not know if You are affiliated with Mr. Howland or not. (shrug) Tim Howland http://wdogsystems.com/ 978-225-8494 I am hoping you have the patience and willingness to help me navigate options so that I can work with uninterrupted connections to my various clients' servers. Please and thank you. ----------------___________________________ DLN Consulting Group Inc.
