Seeing down as well. Inbound calls are working some of the time, but many are dropping after the line is answered. Getting nothing from their web site either - time outs. Chris On 03/16/2016 08:42 AM, Jeff Johnson via Outages wrote:

I wonder when the FCC is going to step in here and force VI to build a more robust network or just pull their license to operate altogether?

Right... because one VoIP provider getting DDOS'ed means that the entire national phone system is under attack. That would be the equivalent of some kid smashing a Bell-owned payphone back in the 1990's. It causes a denial of service for would-be users of that phone, but it's not like the entire phone network goes down with it.

I never said it was entirely under attack but a portion of it is. Whomever it is that’s initiating these attacks is actually doing measurable damage to the economy of the US in lost business, or delays. I don’t know about you but I’d consider that an attack against a portion however small of our national infrastructure.

Right... because one VoIP provider getting DDOS'ed means that the entire national phone system is under attack. That would be the equivalent of some kid smashing a Bell-owned payphone back in the 1990's. It causes a denial of service for would-be users of that phone, but it's not like the entire phone network goes down with it.

- We are aware that the VI network has again been under DDoS attack and that inbound and outbound calling and other VI services have been affected.

We are concerned with the possibility that the perpetrator(s) of this attack! may have access to public ticket updates and have therefore chosen to limit the information we put herein.

Seeing down as well. Inbound calls are working some of the time, but many are dropping after the line is answered. Getting nothing from their web site either - time outs.

We were seeing the same. They are responding now.
From one of our networks to them it looked like an ISP issue (sprintlink) as the hops just bounced around a specific IP space without looping. Hopefully VoIP Innovations will give the lot of us an RFO, even an informal one will be welcome.
