Internet Outages

[Baker]

My internet seems to go out around 1 am at least 3 times a month.

Last night, there were 6 or 7 great players (Epyon, Crazicracker, Paradise, etc.) at Shmack at the same time and there was complete silence as DM6 got voted.

About 25% thru the map, I stopped being able to move and 10 seconds later I got an icon and I knew what was going on.

And when it stopped working, I was <barely> winning too.

Stupid cable

My Time Warner Cable internet hasn't gone out once since I got it.

Whenever I lose my connection at home, I phone up Shaw and tell them that they need to fix at asap. Never fails.

We have a similar place called Cox here, same deal.

When my internet goes down the only number I have is my work number.

Guess what never gets fixed when it breaks.

Mine does that during the winter when it gets cold outside. Other than that mine works.

Quad, your "winter" probably isn't like most of ours, you being in the south and all.

As far as calling the cable co. when the internet goes out, I call them and there is always a message about the "outage in my area" and they know about it, etc. etc.

How so? It does get cold down here, real cold - we just rarely get snow.

But yeah our cable goes out during the night in winter.

I recently had a couple 8 hour long outages, however interestingly enough it bumped the speed up a bit (600kb/ps download!)
