From what I could see, IRC dropped for a while as did access to our main page. There are reports on IRC that mail was down, too.
We are monitoring the situation and will update when we know more.

I couldn't get to the SN home page a few times over the last day or so. But I couldn't get to one of my Gmail accounts and various other pages either. So naturally I figured it was Spectrum not maintaining my cable (as usual).
Good to know that it may not be 100% a Spectrum problem.

This is the first problem we have had in a long time (that I am aware of).
FWIW, I also have a few servers that I like to ping should things seem off.
Might be good to check their support page (or help desk), now, so you have some good resources at hand, just in case.

No big loss. :-))

Like I said on IRC recently....
I have an OC-48 here now, I'm happy to host a couple redundant servers... :)

I haven't looked at the "big picture" today - but thunderstorms have been wreaking havoc around here. My power was out when I got home this morning. Mrs. Runaway said it went out about 4:00, stayed off until about 9:30. I suppose, as is normal, our foul weather hit Dallas an hour or two before it hit us.
Last night's storms weren't really severe, but it comes soon after the severe storms last week. Any storm hitting patch-worked power lines is likely to knock things down.
It's springtime, so expect the unexpected!
