Re: 914 at it again?
On the phone with tech support as well. But they don't seem to have any idea what is going on... had to clear my caches/cookies again... sigh.
Just trying to see if we have anything in common, but I have the westell 327w with firmware 4.04.03.00, could anything on their end be messing with this router? It's about 4 years old... if anyone has a different router and they have the same problems, then at least i know it isn't it.

1 edit | If you observed the problem this AM for the first time (recently), it has NOTHING to do with you're gear.
There is a partial network outage underway.
If the problem you see existed yesterday then it COULD be related to you're equipment.
Line rates were normal yesterday and last night. |

We're all in the 914 or 845 area code, all our outbound Internet traffic goes through the White Plains NY CO, and that's where the problem is -- for the fourth time in less than a month.
Upstream is fine for everyone. Reports are being posted from numerous different towns and cities in the area codes served. Downstream is seriously crippled. Same problem has existed and recurred numerous times in the last month.
This is not an example of mass simultaneous local configuration failures, as VZ tech support is treating it (for now). |

Oh, sorry, I knew we were all suffering from the same problems (same area codes, slow d/l, fast u/l) but was wondering if we all had the same router. I know it sounds silly but my router wouldn't work with this broadcom nic until i upgraded the firmware on the router oddly enough, and was wondering if maybe newer verizon customers weren't experiencing this outage. I would have thought this would have made the journal news (it's on bluesnews at least »www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.···id=86857) Oh well...I have a ticket in for the CO team as well. Here's hoping i can shop for another ISP at 3mbit tonight. |

I've swapped out three modem/routers at this point -- Westell 327W, Westell 6100 (both from VZ), and Belink Wireless g (non-VZ). No difference.
It's not related to local equipment or configs on this end.
The lack of any posting "I'm not seeing this problem" messages means that it's highly unlikely that new-VZ-issue end-user modem/router and the newest configurations are not the antidote. |
