Hey all, I came home today to find my internet down. I went through all the standard troubleshooting I could think of and then - having had no success - took a peek at the quic client area where I found that my connection is marked as terminated. I haven't had any communication with quic, and all my invoice payments are up to date. Has anyone else run into this???

Just to update the community, of course I won't go into details but unfortunately @YoyoOhno's connection was cut off due to an incorrect churn from another ISP.

When an ISP transfers (aka churns) another providers connection, for most connections (e.g. those through Chorus for example), the existing provider receives no notification of the churn occurring until it's already been completed - so the losing provider have no way to validate churns ahead of time.

Looks like in this instance, this connection was churned away in error, and will be back over to Quic as soon as possible.

Thanks @YoyoOhno for being so understanding.

So missed the opportunity for a pun: connection will be back over to Quic as Quic as possible :)

Sucky for the OP that it happened, but I'd damned near guarantee that's the fastest ever resolution of a bad churn..

Does Chorus collect the ~$25 connection fee in that case or is it waived?

Big thanks to @quic for such prompt contact & resolution! (particularly given this was entirely out of their control)
