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.

"...IRC dropped for a while..."
No big loss. :-))
