Opening a port or series of ports will not resolve a network routing issue caused by a faulty device within NTTs network stack. The solution listed will not help with anything, but the AT&T tech can't simply say "Well we can't do anything, good luck!".

Also, as noted in previous pages of this now 73 page long thread, the high latency and packet loss is on a (very regular) schedule, and we still have another 2.5 hours before things get bad, and then another 2 hours or so after that before packet loss begins.

I am very happy to see a lodestone post however, as that is a significant improvement over just 2 tweets, but the post fails to actually identify the issue or a timeline on restoration. Alas.

Much love, things will get better.
