(spent six hours wrestling with AT+T’s managed fiber connection last night, cursing like a naboo the entire time)
AT&T is one of the worst companies I’ve ever worked with
…i dumped them like a rock shortly after the pacific bell acquisition a quarter-century ago; sadly, our current ISP was my wife’s unilateral choice…
Six hours fixing it and a reboot is what fixed it? Ooof.
Right? That’s step one!
…half that time before i realised it was only half the devices on our network, too: spent a long while chasing DNS poisoning, then the other half patching devices from a mobile hotspot…
…in the end, i never actually figured out why only half my devices couldn’t resolve half of the internet, but a hard-power-cycle of our fiber modem resolved the issue…
You should name your modem “Bilbo” after this
I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
