RR burps....

[Khandurian]

God what a mess these last 2 days have been. Road runner being 98% down for 4 hours yesterday morning. Still having problems with their own servers.

I keep getting 2 different stories. 1 was dns server crashed, other was hardware failure at the head end. Got better answer there Steve?

Are you talking about Tampa area? I have had no problems here in Orlando with my RoadRunner. Been working like a champ. Of course if it is a DNS issue I would not notice it as I use my own DNS servers, and not RR's. (it helps when I add domains or move ips on the servers I run so it updates instantly on my end)

I'm in Tampa area...I've heard there has been a routing issue with another provider that RR peers off of.

This happened on the 18th there guy. All of Brevard County and half of Orlando was 98% down. Ya, ok, go ahead, ask. How can it be 98% down?

Simple, only about 5 or 6 websites were accessible. It caused some serious problems over here. Only thing that was working with no problems was the "ic" program.

It's definitely alot better now.

hmm odd, if it was only letting a few sites work, (im guessing like icflorida, rr.com etc maybe?) then it probably sounds like a DNS issue for sure. However I don't recall having that problem? About what time was it going on Maybe I was in bed already

I live in West Orlando (Windermere) area, and didnt notice any issues, (well we established I dont use RR's dns servers) so that could be a good indication it was a DNS issue.

Seems to be a problem in Central Florida:

they seem to be complaining about xboxlive only ?

Actually, get this, you couldn't get to rr.com webmail, or ICflorida. You could get yahoo and google, and a couple of others.

Fortunately they have fixed the problem. I should have thought to change my dns, but as I said, they have already fixed it, and it only lasted 4 hours.

oh I could of just not been online during that window who knows. Glad its fixed for yea Khan.
