    My Internet Provdider Has Been Down For 14 Hours
    Im lonely fellas. I called the cable company and it says "all circuits are busy now try again later". Im using the Sprint network to post this. This wowway cable needs to get their sh $# together. If this happens during football season... id be fu@#$@.

          Wow this is so weird. The internet/cable company said they are under a DDOS attack on their twitter account. It said... please try to reset your internet connection through "Google's DNS". I watched a quick video on how to change your network connection on youtube. It worked so far. Crazy.

              I don't get why my internet is working now? Everything is going through Google? This can't be good.

                Basically your provider has their own DNS servers that they had to take offline due to the DDOS attack.

                Google has public DNS servers that anyone can use. 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8 are two that I use all the time. It works because all you need is an Internet connection and all your URL resolution is happening through Google instead of your provider.

                  I'm sure Google is recording every website I go to. That can't be good.

                  I guess my provider's DNS servers are back online now. Everything back to normal. Nice to have those Google Public links in case this happens again though.
