Verizon FIOS outage

This afternoon I noticed that I am no longer receiving any premium channels (FX, TBS, etc).

After rebooting the box a few times and being on hold for an hour, a tech informed me that the server for some areas of NY is having issues (continues to reboot). The tech told me an ETA is 10 PM… great!!! :tdown:

Exactly, for someone who is going through chemo therapy and pretty much is on bed rest who finds comfort and time killing watching TV and was hoping to watch the Sabres game.

Not trying to be an asshole but this fios issue affects me greatly.

Tell them that and you want your bill credited. It may just work.

2 of my boxes are fine HD and HDDVR, 2 are not fine HD and SD

I actually was thinking about you the other day dude, glad to see you post! Stay strong!!

Busted my ass all day, planning to chill and watcht the game. Fuck no, someone walked by the mainframe and tripped on the power cord, yanking it out of the wall. Game will come on just as the aftershow starts.

Yea, the tech says one of the servers is bad, so 2 of your boxes are connected to a good server.

Thanks man, much appreciated … going through this is one of the worse thing I have ever experienced. It is tough to get a day of no issues between chemo days… it affects me physically and mentally.

I have no doubt it is. Lucky to have the chemo option though, some people don’t even have that. My mom was diagnosed terminal in July and died in October :frowning:

Be tough, I know that the rate of survival for what you were diagnosed with is pretty high, keep your hopes up, you can do it, sabres game or no sabres game :slight_smile: although I’m sure it would be nice to take your mind off of things

I am very sorry to hear about your loss and that must be very tough to lose a mother that was still young. :frowning:

You are very correct about my cancer which makes me excited!! However, ABVD (chemo cocktail) is one of the toughest treatments.

Also, I checked my cable box on my shitty TV that I haven’t watched in 6 months and everything works lol

My non dvr box works, just connected it to the big tv for the game.

Wtf. Mine is out too. I’m def getting this month free

ahh man im just givin u shit. fight the good fight man, my dad just finished treatment himself

Since as of about 10/11pm last night non my channels work except for locals it says not authorized.

Can’t get live chat working says too busy. I have been dropped my support call while on hold once already. Situations like this is where I wish I still had TW since there support was quick.

My fios is out as well in Amherst. I called, apparently it’s out until 1pm tomorrow.

If that’s the case (amherst as well) they better be giving credits, a over 24hr outage is unacceptable.

Yep massive outage they said it started Friday, strange that I only started having issues last night.

Trying to watch TV now and it’s still out.

Just called … They have no clue when it will be back on and they’re just crediting for the time it was out.

Yes, one of my boxes was working and now it is out… pretty much basketball and Nascar is all I can watch lol.

Time Warner doesn’t have multi day video outages lol

However they did island dunkirk by accident last week.
