How is everyone passing the time during the great Centurylink Outage of 2023?

Going on roughly 3 hours in WDM…

Switching to MiFiber was one of the best decisions I've ever made after about 6 months of CenturyLink. As someone who WFH (and my wife too), internet is a NEED.

Lots of people in NE Ankeny out. I heard some in ames. Typically we never lose connection with our fiber. Maybe a few times a year.

So dependant on Internet access. If we had YouTube TV we would have been screwed. at least the DVR works when the Dish goes out. Options are CL, MetroNet, not sure on MiFiber in Grimes where I'm at.

Bummer. I have fiber in a new neighborhood on the NW corner of town so maybe that's why we're back up.
Ours is fiber (only) too; about 4 year old neighborhood. It and mifiber are the two options, and judging by the neighborhood social media CenturyLink still is overall more reliable. This is the third outage in the 4 years we've had it.

-still down, just tried the router/modem restart.
