Time Warner Cable Experiences Nationwide Internet Outage 133
Wolfrider (856) writes Reports are coming in from multiple U.S. states that TWC is having a major Internet outage since early this morning. ... TWC's customer service reps are reportedly a bit overwhelmed by call volume at the moment, and no ETA yet.
According to CNET, most locations should be more-or-less back online as of 7 a.m. EDT or so (my TWC connection came back around 7:30 a.m. EDT). TWC says it's maintenance gone wrong: In response to a query by CNET, Time Warner Cable issued this statement: "At 430am ET this morning during our routine network maintenance, an issue with our Internet backbone created disruption with our Internet and On Demand services. As of 6am ET services were largely restored as updates continue to bring all customers back online."

TWC: "Surely only Comcast can save us! Please allow the merger!"
Government: "Well golly gee, what a great idea!"

I hope you seized the opportunity to share at least 2 or 3 eyeroll-inducing "back in my day..." stories. Otherwise, I don't know how else you could have possibly salvaged such a fiasco.

Same with Cincinnati, OH. The little crumb crunchers are already done with screwing around for the summer.
