By that logic, it's okay to try someone's front door just because there's a Christmas tree advertising presents inside. Same for a bungled bank robbery. In both cases, it's attempted theft, and the test of criminal intent is not whether the attempt succeeds or fails.
When I called Mediacom's customer support number, the message said @Home had mistakenly shut off service to former AT&T areas now owned by Mediacom in Iowa and Illinois, and service should be restored in about 24 hours. Apparently AT&T has abandoned @Home, so @Home is cutting them off.
We're in a Mediacom market (recently acquired from AT&T), and @Home's local DNS servers (identified as "proxy1 and proxy2.iowact1.ia.home.com") are up but refusing queries. If you switch your DNS servers to somewhere else, the network is still up.
I've tried releasing and renewing my DHCP address, but I'm still getting the same IP and DNS servers.

It's good to know PsyOps is alive and well.
