Epic Fail

July 27, 2010

Oceanic Time Warner Cable lost most of a state today.  Something major went wrong with their network, and most of Hawaii was without cable TV and internet.  I understand that Oahu wasn’t effected, but all of the other islands suffered the outage to some extent.

We were without net all day.  Ella and I were forced to go to the beach against our will.  We would have so much rather have stayed inside and blogged.  (You believe that, right?)

    False. Oahu was affected. I did not have internet from just before midnight last night til 7:30 this morning. Very frustrating.

      Gigi — I am sorry to hear Oahu was without internet, too. Thom doesn’t have Oceanic and I guess OJM slept through the outage because she said her cable wasn’t affected. The radio all day today kept saying only Oahu wasn’t affected.

    Yeah right. NOT. :)

    Such are the sacrifices we have to endure. :-) At least you were in a place with nice options. I’m glad it is all back in working order.

      BArbara – -and at the end of the day after a lovely dinner and a beautiful sunset, Amoeba and I returned to the hotel to learn that the internet had been up and running for about a half-an-hour!

    Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! I wish MY internet would go down for a few weeks… NO! I don’t. I just wish I could find the right balance. (I need the internet for OTHER things too….) Poor Quilly… I am sO sorry you had to suffer the sands of Hawaii and those nasty NASTY crystal blue waters! I do feel for you….

  • polona says:

    even on holiday these things can be frustrating. i’m sorry you were left with such unpleasant options

  • Okay, if you say so… LOL. I would love to trade with the Hawai’in beach for a couple of hours. Have a great day.
