Frontier - Fiber Cut - Tomahawk Wisconsin
by Anthony Hook 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

There's a fiber cut in Tomahawk, Wisconsin. I'm speaking some colleagues in other areas in Northern Wisconsin, and heard from a Frontier Rep that confirmed this. There are two ISPs in the area, as far as I know anyone using Frontier is affected. Badgernet (Wisconsin provider for Schools, Libraries, Government) may also be affected. The status on the other ISP in the area, Charter, is not known to me. Internet service in the following cities/areas are affected: Rhinelander Minocqua/Hazelhurst/Arbor Vitae Tomahawk Crandon (including Forest County Potawatomi Nation) I currently don't know an ETA on repairs. *Typing this, tethered to my phone, from a coffee shop* -- - Anthony Hook

Hop 13 has been really high latency for me during issues. When its acting up, latency between home and work is 160-200ms. At 6am this morning, it was 60ms and was consistent all day until 530pm today according to smokeping. 5 19 ms 20 ms 20 ms te-0-10-0-13-ar02.aurora.co.denver.comcast.net [68.86.103.82] 6 23 ms 16 ms 16 ms he-3-9-0-0-cr01.denver.co.ibone.comcast.net [68.86.92.21] 7 53 ms 62 ms 31 ms 68.86.89.190 8 34 ms 30 ms 29 ms pos-0-0-0-0-pe01.1950stemmons.tx.ibone.comcast.net [68.86.86.90] 9 35 ms 31 ms 29 ms sl-st31-dal-.sprintlink.net [144.232.25.33] 10 31 ms 31 ms 32 ms 144.232.11.207 11 86 ms 86 ms 30 ms 144.232.1.162 12 42 ms 45 ms 40 ms sl-crs2-kc-0-5-5-0.sprintlink.net [144.232.24.7] 13 550 ms 110 ms 186 ms 144.232.1.101 14 193 ms 300 ms 119 ms sl-crs2-che-0-0-2-0.sprintlink.net [144.232.18.120] 15 114 ms 102 ms 104 ms sl-gw16-che-15-0-0.sprintlink.net [144.232.6.50] Anyone seeing something similar or anyone insightful from either organization who might be able to help out?

And there's the point that makes fixing this stuff such a bitch: you almost never have a relationship with anyone except the carrier you connect through (and sometimes not even them :-). This is, incidentally, why my professional recommendation to people setting up "nailed up" links over the Internet is to move heaven and earth to get every point on the same carrier, or to make sure, at the very least that there is only one exchange point in the middle, and you're a customer of the carrier on both sides of it. Having to escalate through 3 or 4 carriers to get something fixed isn't just time consuming, it's often impossible. Social engineering NOC hotlines (as much as I hate to advocate it) is often the only solution; bring your Geek License. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Sprint Wireless Outages
by Mitch 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Anyone seeing Sprint Data outages? Out of the 50 or so sites we have their devices at only 2 or 3 are up right now across the country. Anyone else seeing anything? I have a ticket opened on it and they confirmed we have no blocks on our account so was wondering if anyone else is seeing anything?

Amazon.com

Amazon appears to be in trouble. Kindle order, which is usually processed within seconds, is sitting in pending state, hasn't been billed, and their site appears to be missing CSS when loading. This is from upstate NY. -- Best regards, Curt Sent from my office desktop by The Bat!

REMINDER: DST
by Jay Ashworth 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

This Sunday, 0159595EST will be followed by 030000EDT, in most areas. Amazing as it sounds, even this late in the day there are *still* things that don't deal with the DST switchover properly. If you have problems on Sunday, this is definitely an item to have on your checklist. Followups to -discuss Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
