Ooof someone's about to have a bad day.

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

You know you're having a really bad day when your status page stops working.

It's still available via IPv6, and there is nothing on it so far.

Chorus outage map is for Chorus network outages, rather than individual ISPs, and this is a Vocus issue

DOesn't appear to be a Chorus issue. Only affecting Vocus customers.

Cleaner has knocked out the cable.

Same issue here on the north shore

I can get DNS queries from their DNS servers, but all routing outside of their network appears to be down.
