lol im not defending time warner… I’m just surprised Verizon or any company would let a multi day outage like that happen. I know any time something like that came close with TWC directors were pwning staff, vendors, whoever to get it fixed. ---

My DVR box came back but my non DVR boxes are still borked. ---

If the tech was right on the phone and this outage started friday (granted didn’t affect everyone) but it has lasted well over 24hrs that is not acceptable and should never be accepted. ---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ---------- Anyone else Fios Internet acting like a fucking dog?

You’d think evane’s house was on fire and the fire company wasn’t responding as upset as he is. :lol: All my scheduled newsgroup stuff downloaded last night just fine but I don’t see anywhere in sabnzbd to see what speed it downloaded at. 23meg down 25 up on [speedtest.net](http://speedtest.net), which is what I get for my 39.99/month. ---

I found these instructions on the fios Forum last night. It would have been nice if they could have given this information when people were calling in. When I called on Saturday they said there was nothing they could do. > There will be a global refresh performed on all STBs but for now the you can perform the update from the STB - please note this could take up to an hour due to server traffic. > > Solution from the STB > > Press Menu \>\> Customer Support \>\> In Home Agent \>\> STB/DVR Auto Correct > Select all STBs by pressing 1 or the select the STB/DVR having the issue and then press Right Arrow button for NEXT then Right Arrow button again to start process. > > \*\*\*\*it will take up to 8 or so minutes to resolve and it will say “Loading” for some time - the circle icon will not spin > \*\*\* if you get an error when accessing STB/DVR Auto Correct - EXIT to live TV and repeat process above From what I understand, this is essentially the same thing the tech’s were doing remotely. It took less than ten minutes, fixed both of my stb’s.
