Re: IP address moved to Lubbock, Texas??? said by gatorkram:The only reason this would happen, is if the routing for the subnet was also still tired into it's old location,
What you said went over my head. I'm in the service area (Humboldt) recently affected by a vandal who is cutting Suddenlink's fiber optic lines (again and again and again).
Would the likelihood of an unusual routing of the subnet be greater if it was somehow related to addressing issues posed by the vandalism?
Our Internet went out for about an hour this afternoon, which was an incredibly short time period (the Internet was out for me for two days last week). Maybe it was a coincidence, but if today's outage was caused by the vandal, then Suddenlink got customers back online in record time.
(While I don't know what 'routing for the subnet' means, I realize a cut cable is a cut cable. But could this routing somehow be tied to utilizing another company's fiber line in an emergency?)
I just know that my games keep dropping me due to lost network connections, and this began the same day I noticed websites thought I was in Texas. |
