Had no DNS service all day, finally got a tech to give me the IP of an alternative DNS server. Now can surf with url's again not just IP's.

Got switched to attbi.com -- It's working fine for me (though quite a bit slower) in Vancouver, WA.

Latest update from Insight:

Saturday, December 1, 2001

Here is the most recent update on the Excite@Home situation:


Insight, along with some other cable operators including Cox, Comcast and Mediacom; is currently in the final stages of positive negotiations with Excite@Home. As a result of these negotiations, Excite@Home is continuing to provide connectivity to the customers of the companies involved in these discussions. We continue to remain highly confident that we will maintain connectivity for our Insight@Home customer base.

Certain communities in our Central Illinois service areas have seen a temporary interruption in service as a result of an inadvertent error by Excite@Home. This was a result of the fact that AT&T Broadband was not a party to the negotiations with Excite@Home resulting in a loss of service for AT&T Broadband customers. Excite@Home mistakenly identified Insight customers as AT&T Broadband customers. We worked extraordinarily fast to get service restored to the vast majority of the affected customers within two hours. We are continuing these efforts to restore service to all remaining affected customers today. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Insight will continue with our special efforts to provide uninterrupted high-speed data service to our customers and thank you for your continued patience as we work through this issue.

Can't get mine working in Seattle. Got a steady green "cable" light but nothing going through. I did get the wonderful computer telephone call informing me of a 1-14 day outage also:Q:|:disgust:

Wow that's a lot of Nos! Plus obviously some people can't answer no because their internet is down. I'm on Comcast @ Home now.

My ATT/@Home just came back up. I found it down early Saturday and had been down since until now. It came up under attbi.com. Speed does not seem too good but at least it is up. Hopefully they will clean up...

This DNS server issue in the Seattle area has been causing me problems all day trying to get it to work with the Linksys router. I swear there are only three slots for DNS servers but I see four when I connect the modem to my computer directly. Wassupwitdat!?!?

Good poll idea:)

My Comcast@Home (Mid-Michigan Area) still works perfectly, and my dad's does also(Detroit area).
