Re: [OOL] Cablevision down in the Bronx

Service was down on 8/21 in the Bronx for me too. I'm in Melrose. First, I had no internet but my OV was working. Then OV went out too.

When I called CV, it was busy. I figured it had to be a known outage.

This was the first time in a decade that CV service was out in my area. All seems normal now.

In Riverdale, went out yesterday morning around 7:45 (8/21); out all day; went back up very briefly around 9:30 pm but crashed after a few minutes - still out as of 7 this morning (8/22). Recorded announcement on Cablevision phone number saying they're still working to resolve the issue.

If you want credit for the downtime, don't hang out speak with an operator. A few years ago when service was down for 3 days in the area of Brooklyn where I use to live. They refused to give credit because we didn't speak to an actual operator when we called, and hung up after hearing the recording.

They may give a credit, but it is worth your time? 1 day = $2?

They would have documented outages affecting you. When it is this large of an outage, I doubt you'll have trouble getting a credit for the outage.

@jaa when I was 3 days with out service they gave $20 credit, and @frdrizzt when we requested credit for no service for 3 days (large scale an entire neighborhood was out) they said since we never spoke to an operator to complain we weren't entitled to a credit. Took a supervisor to approve one.

Yeah, I received a recorded message today saying I would get a one day refund "sometime in a future billing". Can't wait for the $2.00 sometime near christmas, it should help with seasonal shopping

That call was preceded by several recorded calls saying they were still working on fixing the outage! I finally waited for the end of the recording, and was given the option to press one, and stop the "updates". What utter incompetence!

Was it more hassle than waiting for a rep for yesterday's issue?

3 days continuous without service seems unlikely to be a CV area problem in most cases, unless this was like after the hurricane or something similar. When I worked in tech support there, a posted outage affecting your node was the same for credit purposes as a call. Start/stop times are listed with the outage. If it's just an issue affecting people connected to your tap, for example, it wouldn't register as a node outage, so you would need a call.

Alright.. The outage bug hit my zip code in the Bronx. Started around 7pm last night, came back about 20 minutes after. TV and Internet were out.

For some reason I can fetch files from my FTP server a lot faster after this outage. Not complaining at all.
