Did you make a post? All I got was a blank screen under your name.Enhanced BS Detector/Eliminator
Yea that aligns with what I am experiencing.iPad
I get that under his name myself. But it's been happening for about 4 years. I figured it was a feature.Did you make a post? All I got was a blank screen under your name.
WTF?
The software also has a feature, in the beta stage, designed to spare the more sensitive posters from content that may upset them.Did you make a post? All I got was a blank screen under your name.

I blame Obama.Sure it's not the Russians?

App connectivity issues across multiple platforms eg. smart tv, phone, Roku. Assuming DNS because it’s always DNS. Signal strength is strong. No concerns there. Their support is nearly worthless.
And so does CloudFlareThen change it. I've used Level3's free dns servers for forever.
4.2.2.1-5
Google offers free dns as well. I use it as my backup.
8.8.8.8
I've had that trouble before with them so I think I have my DNS servers set to Google's DNS servers.Off topic but is anybody here having seemingly random issues with Metronet lately?

I've been having intermittent problems for a couple of weeks. And you're right, their support is the worst. Makes Comcast look like a JD Powers award winner.Off topic but is anybody here having seemingly random issues with Metronet lately?

You guys should come with a translator.And so does CloudFlare
1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1 plus 1.1.1.3 (beware this blocks adult content so you can't get to PornHub 🤣 🤣 )
They also have so IPv6 addresses
What the hell they talkin bout?You guys should come with a translator.
That's what a DNS server is.You guys should come with a translator.
Yes. I have been on the phone 2-3 times this past week, and had a service rep at the house Saturday morning. Slow internet, slow TV, basically nothing works. Both the rep on the phone and the dude that came to the house said drop the cable and go with youtube TV. They said they are trying to get all customers to do that, and just keep the internet hookups. I guess that is what we will do.Off topic but is anybody here having seemingly random issues with Metronet lately?

I know but it's an ordeal when Metronet DNS servers get screwed up and you can't get to websites and like I told you it happened to me a couple times with them and took me a little while to figure out what was going on so I just said screw them and pointed mine to Google's DNS servers and haven't had any problems yet.I had previously changed it to google.. Something must have undone that.
Don’t get me wrong. When working it’s the best option in town. Lately has been a problem. Reddit seems to think they’ve outgrown their hardware a bit. Who knows. Last month or so there have been pretty significant outages lasting 12 hours or more. I know I know. First world problems but we live in the first world so do better I guess.
How are ISPs regulated. State level?
And no mark and NPT of course I didn’t check before asking here. But I’d have had to open my laptop, login. Would have been an ordeal
Yeah, switched it back to Google and no issues so far. Metronet is great, to be fair. I think they've just grown a little too quickly but grabbing market share is the name of the game once you get those fiber lines in. So, I can't blame them.I know but it's an ordeal when Metronet DNS servers get screwed up and you can't get to websites and like I told you it happened to me a couple times with them and took me a little while to figure out what was going on so I just said screw them and pointed mine to Google's DNS servers and haven't had any problems yet.
Note: DNS=Domain Name Server ---- in short it takes the web site you're trying to go to and translates it into an IP address which is really how you get to any site.
