Time Warner Outage?
Here's a question for you folks in Houston on Time Warner Cable....
Is yours out?
At some point after the Cowboys somehow pulled a victory out of their ass, I went out to do some grilling, and the cable went out. It's been out ever since. It's out over in Sharpstown.
The service line was busy earlier, so I'm assuming this is widespread and everyone's calling. I'm stealing a neighbor's wifi right now (SBC), so at least I have innernut access.
It'll be kind of funny if we missed out on any real damage from Rita, but some dumbass in a backhoe cut of cable for half the city. :)
UPDATE: TWC is back. KTRK-13 reports that TWC had a power failure, and their backup generator failed. Nice.

Yeah, I was out from about 5:30 til about 10:30.
I was very not amused. I'm too poor to be paying for services I don't receive. ;)

My mom's cable has been out since Rita blew through.

Ours was out all evening in Montrose (including RoadRunner). We went for a walk and then caught up with Replay TV. Had to call a friend to set my fantasy Baseball lineups for me.

This made me miss out on the season premier of the only current show I watch, Curb Your Enthusiasm. At least I had numerous episodes of Green Acres on the DVR.
