Re: DSL Down completely

Do you get synch on DSL at all? Around here it's a DNS outage.

Try using the following opendns servers and see if it improves things (it worked for me):

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Another thanks for the DNS numbers.
I've been totally down for well over an hour, and when it came back, it was only partial. Those numbers did the trick.
Gotta be pretty widespread too, because the help desk isn't taking any calls ... any calls.

I went to the OpenDNS site and it looks amazing. Is there any potential problem with using these DNS numbers permanently? My speeds are faster and according to their material, more secure. Can AT&T change my DNS back when/if it's fixed?

Perfectly safe. I've been using them for quite some time. I suspect AT&T doesn't care if you're using the Opendns, if for no other reason than it's less load on their own servers.

OpenDNS rocks !!!

I have had one pc on OpenDNS for 6 months and now the others are switched and will NOT be switched back to BS's servers.

Working for me in FL. One router generally does not take down a whole region. However, I am using AT&T/SBC-SouthWest DNS servers.

Used the OpenDNS and speed returned to normal. Bellsouth/ATT DNS must be having "issues".

no. they wont be able to switch it back, its embedded on you system unless you change to automatically get your dns settings from their servers or manualy hard code new dns server numbers.
