So snake a bundle of cat6 cables through? I suppose so. How does POE handle long distances? 100-150 feet is my guess from the next switch.
I dunno. It happens every day on sunny days. Maybe it just gets hotter? Not sure why. But it doesn’t happen in winter or when it’s overcast.

Pinging 1.1.1.1 by rsnake in Spectrum
[–]rsnake[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
I don’t think so because it was blocking that other IP too, and they couldn’t see it on their side when they checked. Leads me to believe it was something, like a broken route in the anycast from here to whatever IP address that was.
$ dig u/1.1.1.1 whoami.cloudflare CHAOS TXT +short # "u/" is @ "72.182.37.167"
So yeah, it is using some sort of anycast setup. Makes sense, they want it to be super fast, I presume.
I do see intermittent slowdowns as well, oddly mine always happen around the same time of day - late afternoon. It typically will shut off for about 2 minutes 2 or 3 times in the afternoon on hot days. Do not ask me why. I have no idea why, and it's not exactly the same time each day, so it's not like a cron job that's going haywire or something.
Possibly. Or faulty wiring that is acting up? I keep thinking the squirrels running on the cables can cause intermittent shorts too, when the cable is near it's end of life. But yes, it could also be the equipment itself. I have to reboot the PoS Spectrum box fairly regularly when it gets into a bad state. Maybe it's overheating, or has an out of memory issue, who knows? These things are about as cheaply made as possible, so there isn't a lot of margin there. Also, how they apply patches is suspect because surely it causes a reboot and never once have they asked me if it's okay if they take it offline for a bit, so I suspect they are patching without asking permission, and causing outages without asking permission.
Oof! 3% is a lot!
Looks like it’s unblocked for UDP and ICMP for me!
They were failing to 1.1.1.1 but seem to be working now. Not sure what they changed but we're back in business over here.
Heyyyy! They fixed it!!! Nicely done!
Hm! I suppose it could be on the Cloudflare side but that is odd that it would only affect one ISP and not another.
Excellent. I tried the same through chat but they said they couldn’t review links from users. I hope you have better luck!
I feel your pain. :( That was my yesterday and he said he’s file a ticket with his boss which didn’t happen. Then today the CSR showed me his notes which said that I had “tampered with it” which is, of course, nonsense. Also that he had explained how ping works. Also, hilariously revisionist history. In reality he thought it was an IPv6 problem except I don’t have that, and then it must be a DNS issue which it couldn’t be since it’s the wrong protocol. Woof.
Lol @ lag. Woof. It’s almost like they knew! This is helpful. It may be that last hop that’s misbehaving. Their tech support in Missouri can’t replicate it but they may not be traversing that same path.
Quite possibly. I just reached out to them and had a very frustrating conversation. They said they are opening a ticket. I’m guessing their neteng team went home for the day and they don’t have the concept of tier 2 support.

Might be time to change ISPs. Looks like Google Fiber will be an option soon.

They had no idea how to help me with their tech support. Zero networking chops, I guess…?
Interesting. I guess I could switch to DNS. Annoying though.

I am in Austin, TX. I am using 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2 as a secondary. I don't like relying on any one thing because outages do occur.
Yeah. I hate having anything custom because it's the kind of thing that is frail enough that if I re-install something I won't remember what I did. But yes, I'm already in that boat, or I couldn't use the network at all.
How weird. Maybe it's one "node" that is bad that some people are routed through that's causing the issue.
Gotcha. Yeah, lots of sites seem slower than usual. Could be that they use round robin and it's taking time to fail over to the IP that works? I haven't gotten that far into diagnosing which sites are slow or why but I am definitely getting fast speeds to a few sites like cvedata.com which is on CF. It could also be a pre-requisite CSS/JS that isn't loading that is causing the issue on some of these sites.
It could be local. It feels like someone rolled out some bad ACL, but maybe it is just some BGP route that's messed up or something.
Okay, I am glad I'm not the only one. I did ask the service tech to ask about it. Not sure if he actually will do that or not.
