Daniel let me know that they've been receiving these calls in increasing volume since around 10 AM EST yesterday (Wednesday) morning. I directed him to this post and made sure to let him know that there is more than enough information here to start a proper investigation. I also provided him with the NTT node information such as geolocation and IP address.

It took a bit of doing, but I eventually was able to convince both reps that this was not an ISP issue with Optimum, since they don't have ownership of the node and there is no other internet-related problems, they just happen to have a very large market share in the area which is why most of the complaints have that in common.

I was informed that the information was forwarded to the relevant teams to investigate and hopefully we'll see an official acknowledgement of the issue within the next day by way of a Lodestone post or maybe even a resolution. Keep fingers crossed and please be sure to post any new information if it's available!
