Spectrum Consumer Level outage in Thousand Oaks

Went down last night. Still down. Spectrum acks the issue (their voice chatbot simply says techs are working on it and the call is a dead end <grin>) Anyone have an insight? Its affecting a nearby customer who normally is VPN'ed to their servers here. Trying to decide if chasing alternatives is worthwhile. Sincerely, William "Bill" Kern PixelGate Networks

My Thousand Oaks, CA site on Spectrum (off-the-shelf DOCSIS) is up and working fine, so you're probably impacted by a single node outage. This list is really for massive outages and multi-customer fiber cuts, not single-provider outages that only impact one zip code. Call Spectrum business back and ask for more details, ask if the entire node is down. 1-877-892-4662 You're having a localized problem. Outages happen, get a 4G backup. - Cary On Fri, Jan 20, 2023 at 3:11 PM William Kern via Outages < outages@outages.org> wrote:

well the point of asking is to find out how widespread the issue is. In regards to the customer involved, yes, they should have a backup link, a Frontier link would be available in this area and be around $50/month. Of course customers never want to pay for that until they get caught in a situation. -bill On 1/20/2023 12:58 PM, Cary Wiedemann wrote:
