RE: So Cal Verizon FIOS Issues?

[James Laszko <jamesl () mythostech com>]

A little after 1900 we started to see the world light back up, from our FIOS connected perspective.  I'm utterly 
shocked at the lack of network status, support, status message on indefinite hold, etc...

We've been seeing a progressively worse VZ FIOS connection over the last few months -- this outage today makes me 
wonder how they've got this service designed........ was very odd...

At 5:15, I called my wife and she couldn't get out to hardly anything (no aol, no yahoo, no gmail, etc).  I got home, 
ate, and now at 7:30, everything I went to is reachable and she can now get to aol and gmail with no issues.  We're out 
in the IE and our connectivity is out of the Pomona plant.  Are you still seeing issues?  Got an mtr you want me to 
test?
