Time Warner Cable seems to be down nationwide, causing Internet outage throughout most of the country.
The official Time Warner Cable Twitter account hasn't addressed the issue yet, having tweeted about a filmmaking contest eight hours ago and nothing since. Time Warner Cable's online customer care team addressed the issue just now, nearly an hour since complaints began surfacing on Twitter:
We're working to restore services to all areas as quickly as possible; no ETR. Tweets will be delayed while this is addressed.

Upset or laid off employee?
Original post: Breaking... Time Warner cable service nationwide outage!
Just before the top of the hour break, Bill Press announced several cities severed by Time Warner are without service this morning.
More as this develops. Once there is a story, I will update this post.

I'm curious how the company explains this.

(1,134 posts)or that they purposely avoided having it in critical places due to cost reasons. I worked for a cable company in the IP engineering department, and one time we had a massive outage because a fiber link was physically damaged during construction. Now there were redundant paths, but there was a misconfiguration with the routing that caused it not to work. While driving to one of the hub sites to see what was going on, I was on speaker phone listening to the top engineers trying to figure out what exactly was going on. It only took about an hour to narrow it down and come up with a temporary 'fix' (which I believe was a floating static route) I bet that temporary fix is still there. hah!
