"Between Feb 28 & March 12 you will notice brief interruptions in your service due to sun outages. Twice each year, the sun is positioned directly in line with the ground-based satellites used to receive your programming.
The positioning causes short programming interruptions as the sun's energy overpowers signals transmitted by satellites.
This will happen several times throughout the day and normally last no more than 15 minutes each time."
I've noticed a lot of 90000 issues so far starting about the end of Feb, maybe this is why and not so much SE. I'd be interested to see what happens on March 13th when the sun isn't causing issues to my ISP (and maybe yours). I hope this is the real problem and not something on SEs' end of things. I feel a little better knowing there ain't jack any of us can do about the Sun. Don't know why I'm posting exactly, but it after reading the email I've not been quiet so enraged about the constant 90000 90002 2002 errors.
Email from my ISP (Mediacom).

How do you explain broadband which uses fiber and copper? They don't use satellites to deliver internet and those ppl are just as affected by the 90k.

Someone will still make complaint to SE for them to fix the sun.

Interesting find... I hope the Sun doesn't do anything to serious over the next 3 days.

I guess the Sun is directly targeting communication to and from SE's servers, because none of my other online services, be it games, streams, or torrents, are having issues.

It's clearly referring to your satellite TV service.

Maybe setting up a petition to nerf the sun would get something done?

Tv stations distribute programing via satalite. Your cable company is referring to the tv portion of your service. This happens twice a year.
Although cable repair guys will tell you it happens all year round because they have better things to do than waste their day fixing the cable, like eating donuts. -

Offer up your prayers to Joe Pesci, he can go down there and straighten them out with a baseball bat.
