  1. And the new ISP is up! We switched from #Centurylink to #QuantumFiber. No change in services really, since I already had symmetrical 1Gbps. Just lower price.

    The tech swapped out the ONT for a Lumen Q1000K. After a few attempts, I was able to update my WAN config in #pfSense to get rid of the old PPPoE credentials Centurylink used. I had already looked up info about setting the Lumen device to transparent bridge mode to avoid a double NAT scenario.

  6. I don't think this is our problem, but #LumenTech admitting that their network just can't cope with MAC addresses that start with a 4 or 6 is one of the most unhinged things I have ever heard.

  11. Downloaded #PingPlotter to monitor what is happening with my #ATT / #QuantumFiber / #CenturyLink fiber service, and wow, is #LumenTech (the part of CenturyLink that didn't go to AT&T) really losing 85-90% of packets between Portland and Seattle?

  16. After CenturyLink/QuantumFiber/AT&T replaced our fiber terminal, and I replaced our wi-fi router, things seem to have gotten a bit more stable.

    However, we are still having these occasional slowdowns for around 30 seconds, where everything becomes choppy and latency jumps up.

    I just captured one that lasted 36 seconds, so I know I am not imagining it. I just wish the fiber company had any idea what was going on.

  21. #AT&T bought #Quantum

    Quantum was #CenturyLink 's creation to dodge union contracts AND FCC tariffs.

    Rather than build their own, the Death Star just bought one already doing it.

  24. Anyone who had #CenturyLink fiber should be careful when contacting #QuantumFiber tech support.

    I've been having daily 30 second connection issues for over a year now, so I finally got fed up and contacted support. However, that caused them to migrate my account somehow, and now I have no internet at all, and it might not come back for 48 hours.

    My wife is not exactly happy with me right now.

  34. Got my laptop plugged directly into the ONT, doing PPPoE on VLAN 201. It logs in and gets the right IP address, but the netmask is /32 instead of /28, and everything is still redirected to the #CenturyLink "give us money" page, even though it shows my balance as $0.
    CenturyLink never did tell me exactly which century they were going to link me to.
    They (Lumen) have a deal pending to sell their Quantum "consumer fiber" business to AT&T, but that won't close until some time next year.

  39. The Register: Major telecom supplier compromised by unnamed nation-state attackers. “Nation-state snoops broke into Ribbon Communications – an outfit that provides software and networking gear to Verizon, CenturyLink, and the US Defense Department – last December, remained hidden for about nine months, and stole files belonging to three customers, according to the US telecommunications firm.”

  48. My DSL Internet is down... except for one computer where I'd previously configured DNS to use Google's Public DNS. I'm assuming this is somehow key to why it still works. I've tried to reproduce this onto another computer, but no luck so far.
