Time Warner Cable Experiences Nationwide Internet Outage

Wolfrider (856) writes Reports are coming in from multiple U.S. states that TWC is having a major Internet outage since early this morning. ... TWC's customer service reps are reportedly a bit overwhelmed by call volume at the moment, and no ETA yet. According to CNET, most locations should be more-or-less back online as of 7 a.m. EDT or so (my TWC connection came back around 7:30 a.m. EDT). TWC says it's maintenance gone wrong: In response to a query by CNET, Time Warner Cable issued this statement: "At 430am ET this morning during our routine network maintenance, an issue with our Internet backbone created disruption with our Internet and On Demand services. As of 6am ET services were largely restored as updates continue to bring all customers back online."

TWC: "Surely only Comcast can save us! Please allow the merger!"
Government: "Well golly gee, what a great idea!"
Comcast: Mwuhahahaha ... no data caps(*), bitches.
(*) You can buy all the data you want like suckers, and we'll keep getting away with crap like this once we're the only game in town.
