Ditto in Powder Springs, GA. It appears our primary DNS is not responding to pings, but the secondary in Miami is...only problem is that it must be getting hard because it takes for ever to resolve hostnames...I'm having no problems pinging IP addresses that I know... |

I was having problems pinging ips, so its not just a dns issue. Seems to be intermittent as some came back up and went down again, but as of right now i think most are comming back online |

My experience is that both DNS Server are having problems at the moment. I got my connection back up by going to some alternative servers.(Found link on old DNS thread »www.portforward.com/networking/dns.htm)
I tried the old Nashville DNS Server with no luck b/c I am willing to bet they are finally gone.
I suggest if you have anyone contacting you about DNS problem to refer to a post some months ago about it with a list of alternatives. |

Mount Olive, AL | Got the same thing here, using the 'verison' DNS settings. Tried the ole BS settings as well. Looks to be a system wide problem.

You may try the ATT DNS farm: 68.94.156.1 and 68.94.157.1 or OpenDNS server farm: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
However, I was using OpenDNS and still expereinced some issues. So, I doubt that it is just a DNS issue.

Yup... their DNS is broken. I can't recommend opendns.com enough for when these things with Bellsouth happen:
* 208.67.222.222
* 208.67.220.220
If I don't switch to them in times like these, I get no internet access =/. |

I was/still am using the OpenDNS servers, have been for 5 months or more and still having issues. So far, I'm back up for now though.

I'm on the OpenDNS and have been. My 3meg line is running at about 150kb/s with roughly 150ms pings to most external sites.
I'm guessing someone messed up a huge network swap or something for so many to be affected. |

surprised we haven't heard anything from the Death Star crowd on this outage...
they probably think something is wrong with the Endor shield generator  |

Same here in Miami. Connection just died for about 15-20 minutes. Big latency when it did come back up. Seems to be getting better now... |

When I can even get a speedtest to run.. I am looking at less than 75 kbps on a 6MBit Extreme connection.
Way more than DNS problems going on here... and you can't get through to Tech Support via Web or online to find out anything. |
