All North American Data Center Worlds Network Technical Difficulties (Oct. 26)

[Sinalve]

Are people still having problems connecting? I was able to log in this morning without issue. I also was able to maintain the connection I had last night until I logged off around 1:20 am.

No response in an hour, let's hope no news is good news.

The download issue as far as updating the patch files is still happening I am waiting to see how long it would take to disconnect me if it does I have stopped using my VPN server since they said that the problem was fixed

[tyrantdragon]

So I regret to say as far as people who are having troubles with the patch download error file I suggest getting a VPN as far as for PlayStation 4 who is having the patch download files either Bridge with a computer are a iPad or iPhone or a Android

Yea, I'd like to know too lol. They say it's been resolved, won't find out for about 5 more hours unfortunately

And I can recommend one that I am using if anyone ask

Eidos / Ormuco finally performed traffic engineering to exclude Level3 from their upstream transit. Now most people in North America will reach them through Cogent, Tata or Verizon.

Over 24 hours though, that's ridiculous for this kind of easy fix for any operations team.

Yes I'm still logged in as well so far everything is going good I just wish they would fix the download patch error for PS4 because that is still happening also with the PC as well

but somehow I doubt that a significant portion of those affected will even contact their ISP, never mind tell them exactly what is needed so that they can understand what the problem is to affect a solution.

Well, last night. I was kicked off of my internet and was given Limited Access. When I went to the kitchen to make coffee, I noticed a truck outside. And a person was working on wires, across the street. Those wires, are directly connected with giving me access to the internet. So, I am guessing Time Warner Cable was alerted on this, and progressing on fixing things like this. However, I am still getting problems with DC'ing. Which makes me think, that it isn't JUST people's ISPs. But the connectivity with SE's servers.

Also, just to report. I am keeping a close eye on Level 3's site.

And I noticed the Internet's percentage is lower, and teh Managed Services are higher. Which tells me things are being fixed on their end. However, I think we should have something like a back up generator to help prevent these problems in the future. Don't get me wrong, i understand completely that we are going to have Outages. They are inevitable. But, it could be in the better interests to actually have a back up plan for when things like this happens.
