Wasn't that from a solar flare?
It was DNS, because it is always DNS.
I tried to tell support that on my internet provider a few weeks ago that they had a DNS issue and that it worked fine if I used a VPN. Then he told me to factory reset my router which I told him no because that wasn't the problem and he basically refused to help anymore so I hung up on him.
The first level peeps on the phone have no idea what they are doing. And even if they did, they are forced to follow a script line for line on what needs to be done by them and you before they are allowed to push you off to the next level of support. Unless you explicitly ask, at least.
Just let them follow the script. Tell them you restarted the router. ffs, don't act like the minimum wage people answering the phone (or chat) are supposed to give a shit. Play along or you're not going to get any help.
Yup. They're just doing their job the way they're supposed to so they don't get fired and can afford crazy shit like food or a roof over their head. We shouldn't make it any harder for them if we can reasonably help it.
I usually just do whatever they ask again anyway, even though I already tried it all before I called, because I wouldn't be surprised if I just fucked up or had a brain fart or something, lol. Plus it doesn't usually take much effort to just reset my router again or whatever.
Nah, it finally came out that it was due to some work they were doing that caused it. I wonder who got fired for that blunder. Wouldn't want to be that guy...
