Am in HSV and my service is back.
Decades ago mrs p6 and I had to deal with one of her “well meaning” friends who called Children and Youth Services to remove our children from our home.
Yes, we were at a low time with sometimes OTA TV, electric on and off, but I set up what is now “off the grid” solutions so we rarely were without power.
When the TV wasn’t working the kids listened to shortwave. They started to learn French.
One of the phrases they learned...I didn’t.. was “throw it away, it’s not working.”
But the main complaint was...wait for it...
WE DIDN’T HAVE NINTENDO!
Of course I could set it up but it wasn’t worth taking power from things we actually needed.
The argument was everyone else in our area DID have video games and so our kids were deprived and being abused and should be removed.
I kid you not!
CYS sent an inspector out and it became a weekly annoyance until mrs p6...bless her heart...asked me if I had ever asked for proper ID.
Turns out he didn’t have a driver’s license, car registration, not to mention official ID from CYS.
You don’t want to know what I did to him and CYS.
In retrospect I should have done more and sued for millions, but hey, I’m a nice guy
I knew that DIRECT TV merger was a BAD IDEA.............................
Someone is tweeting that the outage is spreading and affecting New York City, Chicago, and Cleveland.
I have no idea if this is reliable.

Not an accident. This is done on purpose I bet you. Trial run.

Watched that movie on ION on Sunday evening. Great one. We need more warriors like Bruce Willis.

More cable cutting vandals?”
AT&T began stringing cables through our area recently. Those of us who don’t have AT&T are experiencing connection issues several times a day with our service. Used to have AT&T. Never again. Ulterior motive or part of their plan?

AT&T map is showing Cinci affected as well, but not to the scale of the others.
That is a question best left unanswered...
But I have two words for you...
