Ping test done tonight at 10:35p EST |
A ping test from here comes back with a warning, 3 fails, and high time to first hop (see attachment).
A release/renew of my IP made no difference.
Should I post this in the Direct forum in hopes that someone with some ability to report this kind of significant issue would read it?
Also, I started a new smokeping after release/renew my IP (got a new one)... if anyone feels this will also help, it's definitely showing there are issues out there.

And just like that, a switch is flipped and everything is all rosy again. Tests are back to normal (70ms from KS, ~100ms from the west), packet loss is gone, and all seems to be right with the world... for now. |

Yeah, that's the same time that I redid some of my traceroutes and found no issues... and thus all is once again right with the world. But it's very clear from the smokepings that there were DEFINITELY issues in the area tonight. |

I'm having issues also.
1 second ping time to anywhere when it works with lots of drops. |

I think the issues you guys may be experiencing right now are more localized, or could be related to specific sites you're accessing (try doing a traceroute and see where the issues are occurring).
I'm not having any issues right now either. My smokeping is clean and green, and a ping test shows sub-70ms latency from Kansas and no packet loss. |

| I started a Smokeping before I left for work this morning. I am fine going to Kansas and California but I have 100% packet loss going to NY. |

Total outage today (12feb2013) starting around 9 AM until I returned at 3 PM.
No verizon.com, no pinging alternative DNS, No access to anything.

No problems at all today so far... a solid line from KS at just under 70ms... but the 5:30p segment has a tiny bit of smoke on it already... might be a long night...
Also, I don't think NY is being used for smokeping anymore... I think it's only still there for the historical data that others likely have. |

| Thanks for the information about NY and smokeping. At home now, things seem to be back to normal. |

Rockville, MD | Having all kinds of problems here in Rockville. Connection timeouts and DNS resolution issues. |

Not sure if this is a solution, but I noticed on devices where I had hard coded my DNS servers (4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2) that I was having problems. I switched to the opendns servers and no longer have problems on those devices. It might be a coincidence but there could be a problem with Verizon DNS servers. |

Yes! I just got off the phone with Verizon FiOS Support and their recording said there are outages in the DC area they are dealing with. |

Northern VA | In the last 10 minutes, my smokeping graph has jumped from ~70ms to 150ms... so doubling the RTT so far... |

I'm still not having any particular issues. Now, I have google DNS hard coded in my ActionTec router, and until a few weeks ago I used OpenDNS. I've never really trusted the Verizon DNS infrastructure. When it works, it's fine. When it doesn't work, they will never admit it is their problem. Instead, you will be instructed that you need to reload Windows. Those who are having problems, do you use Verizon DNS or someone else? If you are using VZ, what happens with a simple change to OpenDNS or Google DNS?

No significant issues for me last night, compared to the night before. Some slightly higher ping times, but no major issues. |

I'm having some terrible issues in the Potomac area. Pings are considerably too high and I'm only getting about 1-5Mbit/s upload to any internet servers (Speedtests, remote FTP, ect); I'm on the 35/35 plan. I'm getting a normal download speed though: ~43Mbit/s.
This has been occurring for the past few days now; it is very annoying. I can't do anything that is upload intensive in the slightest. I've rebooted the router (custom pfSense box, not the crappy Actiontec) a few times for the heck of it, nothing has helped.'
Is anyone else still having problems? Has anyone reported it?
Edit: Just reset the ONT (pulled power & battery). Nothing changed. |

Northern VA | er... got my days confused... never mind.
Saw big issues Friday evening (worst after 8:00p), but my smokeping ran out after 11p Friday and I didn't get it restarted until this morning. |
