[EEGator]

Funny, the power remains on...

I see you are trying to deflect blame from the badgers...

Badgers don’t climb light poles.................

I thought it was a loose nut between the terminal and the keyboard or maybe a ID-10T error.

[Red Badger]

Yes, they want their people on the school board and dog catcher..................

Solar flare. that’s the ticket.

Actually all three are in the same sheath, but at that point it aint on a pole

I recall doing OC48 transfers in the wee hours of night and always keeping my fingers crossed.

OK, I see something. Local (NE Oregon) grocery stores were all screwed up. They had 3x the usual checkers on hand because the checkout computers were screwing up. Guy in front of me was having his goods run through 3 times before the cashier and customer accepted the results. I went to a different line and my 2 items valued at $5 each came up as $31.95. I was in the Few Items line and the cashier, who had been dealing with this all day, said how about 2 for $5?

I’ve told hubby that a few times; he never remembers what it means.

[infool7]

Yeah... Yeah

I noticed it too. Ran Xfinity’s speed check and got 238Mb/s but everything was still sloooowww.

re. configuration error

What did they do? Hire the guy that "accidently" deleted Trump's Twitter account?

[ptsal]

COMCAST wants more money.

Cut the cord....

Level 3 has been having a hard time lately.

Either someone really smart has it out for them or their network is falling apart due to age.
I don't know which yet.

[Just another Joe]

A lot of the time it was a keyboard interface issue.
Sometimes it was an ID 10 T error.
Every great once in a while it was actually an IT issue.
