Re: [Internet] Major Internet outage

I talked to Time Warner business fiber support about 20 minutes ago and got confirmation that there's a nationwide outage. Bright House might still be using the Time Warner network, and that could explain the outage.

There have been some DDoS attacks going on the past few days, may have something to do with it. Or someone just cut a fiber line while digging. Either way.....poo

A single cut fiber line wouldn't shut down the ISP nationwide, I just got the first report that there might be a DDoS going on against Time Warner. The ability to saturate an ISP's entire network nationwide is unprecedented, but certainly within the realm of plausibility.

I emphasize this is only a theory right now, and will update if/when I get more info.

Yeah, I know. was just hopeing it was something "simple" the DDoS attacks over the past few days have been nasty ones. brought Blizzard to its knees for a day, along with Sony and others, including Twitch. Was just hoping that particular spray nozzle wasnt pointed this way
