Are you using Suddenlink's DNS servers?

Getting them in Winterville, NC for an upgrade at midnight on Dec. 3rd. I'm using Google DNS. To be honest I like seeing these, it's better than the internet going down and having no clue why.

Welcome to this time last year. this has been brought up multiple times an no one even seems to care. It bypasses DNS and the only way around it is to opt-out, use a No Script plugin, or encrypt your traffic. By the way, the data they send you when they inject these things into your browser also counts against your data cap, same with your Suddenlink phone if you have it.

Also received notice of upgrades in my area (Oklahoma). Any idea what they're upgrading?

I live in Charleston and actually began getting them yesterday. It was sort of weird though. One said Dec. 2 at 1 am and another said Dec. 4 at 1 am. I did power reboot my modem this morning but still had the same speeds.

Haven't seen any browser injections, but I had some DNS issues and at some point my Cable/Internet modem went to 8 channels up/dn... Or more channels UP than it used to be.... I noticed because the Upload light used to be "green" while the download led was blue... Now they are both blue.

I forgot... I think I actually opted out of the browser injections the previous time this happened. It's probably happening tomorrow then, b/c I'm still showing 8 channels on the down, and 1 on the up atm.

I'm just outside of Charleston off of 60 E. I'm pretty sure we're fed from the same main headend out of So. Ridge too. It's out there beside the Budweiser plant if you didn't know...

Oh ok. I lived off Greenbrier St. near the Y for almost 6 years. I just moved to the Mink Shoals area about a month ago.

Power cycled the modem when I woke up. Not sure what has changed but my internet is much slower this morning. Maybe the upgrades are in process?

I'm seeing no changes as of yet. I'll do a power cycle in a bit to be sure.

Nothing here yet either. The radio commercials are saying before New Year's so shouldn't be much longer.

Been Getting them for a long time -- Since spring? -- Here in Humboldt, CA. I wish they would let us know what they are upgrading. I wonder if we are due to get increased speeds? Since the second fiber line out of the county went in the bandwidth is not an issue.

This is the 3rd in a row, after 2 outages about 3 days apart a week ago. (College Station - Bryan, TX)
