hmmm.. almost smells like the compromise of net neutrality.. maybe not but
it still offers a glimpse of what to expect if net neutrality goes away.. I
can see how the ISPs would love to cramp Google's style if they could.. I
don't fully understand the net neutrality Legislation that is supposedly
being repealed. However, after all the Google Fiber competition that forced
the ISPs to react.. a smart retaliation tactic may be to entrench more
lobbyists on the the net neutrality repeal. Google was and probably still
is the site with the most traffic on the Internet. So I would assume, based
on my limited knowledge, Google would be among the first victims the ISPs
go after.
Hopefully we can still access trilug.org after the net neutrality
Legislation is finalized... the ISPs would probably LOL at our pizza fund..

How many of y'all on Spectrum/TWC in the Triangle area are having internet
problems?
I'm in Cary, and my Spectrum/TWC internet is working fine.
However, my friends in Raleigh have no internet connectivity to Google,
Yahoo, etc. They can get to my server, in my house, and everything works
fine, including remote control w/ VNC, but they can't get to much of
anything else. They can't even get to *http://spectrum.com/support/
<http://spectrum.com/support/>*
The problem has been ongoing since before 6pm (at least 3 hours, at this
point).
Here's a tracert from Raleigh (my friends' house) to me; as you can see, it
works fine:

Going from my house to theirs also works fine.

I spent a lot of time on the phone with a pleasant, foreign-sounding,
Spectrum tech support rep named "J.C." He was very sympathetic, but all he
could tell me is that they are working on it.
I sent him those tracert logs by pasting them into a text file on my
server, and then reading the URL over the phone to him. (The powers that be
at Spectrum don't want their tech support reps to be able to solve
customers' problems, so they block their tech support reps' access to email
-- and they wonder why we all hate them so much.)
Anyhow, I'm wondering: how widespread is this outage, tonight?
