Got a note from our tech person that our office (Hwy 6 & Emerald Pkwy) was without internet. Suddenlink reporting some 7000 in the area without service for now.

It sucks that they have monopolized this area. No other options

And I was about to throw $100 on Facebook ads for my business. Right when I was about to his submit, it went down.

Not sure if that's a good sign or a bad sign...

There was an announcement earlier in the week that Suddenlink would be down to make upgrades in the area. Not sure if it was set for tonight or when, but it could be tonight.

I'd really like to thank Suckinglink for this outage. We got no advance notice and I ended up having to work three hours into the evening because I had a Friday deadline. Had I known about the fact that it was going to be down, I could have contacted my boss and tried to work in some extra lead time. I was scared I wouldn't even be able to get it done at all last night but thankfully it came back on at about 8:30.

And by the way, Suckinglink, it isn't a "service interruption," which is what your recording said when I called to report the outage. It's actually a huge freaking inconvenience. I wasn't trying to play Candy Crush, it's my JOB here!

If internet is mission critical, you should have a backup connection. Hotspots from your cellular provider can be had for as little as $20/mo.

Or you could order a fiber line with guarantees for the low low price of $1000/mo. There are options but your cable modem alone is not going to give you any guarantees.

I had several pop up notices on my browser over a couple days leading up to it.

Same here. It's hard to miss.

I'm sure it's hard to miss IF it pops up, but I'm on for about 10 hours a day (and there are 3 other users in the house) and we never got a notice from them about the outage. I've seen them before, but certainly not this time. Although I guess I shouldn't be surprised ... it is Suddenlink.

Mine cut out for about 5 minutes, but some of the low number channels still came through. Some have come back, but others are still out.

We had our Suddenlink internet and phones go out on Friday night here at The Chocolate Gallery. It's wasn't just any Friday, it had to be a FIRST FRIDAY! Our point of sales system run through the internet so we weren't able to take credit cars on our regular registers. Thank God we had the Square reader as a backup register. If a squirrel got fried on a piece of their equipment I understand, but if it was a scheduled outage why would they choose Friday night especially for business accounts???

Mine did. Except it actually went up $12 with taxes. From $79 to $91 for just internet. I really wish there were other viable options in this town.
Rapier108

Yep, mine went up about $12 as well.

This has happened to mine on a regular basis over the past couple of weeks. There seems to be no regular pattern as to when it will occur.

I am starting to get used to it.

WonkaTXRanger, email me at logan (at) vxvcommunications.com. We cover all of downtown Bryan and can get you internet and phones with a direct feed from the datacenter(s) nearby. 50mbps up to gig (if you for some reason needed so much). Better. Cheaper. Local.

Suddenlink cable out for anyone else? Internet is still up for now.
