SOME OF US ARE POOR AND NEED FREE HOSTING SERVICES IN ORDER TO EARN OUR MEAGER INCOMES. It isn't laziness, it's called trying to make do. Because photobucket is down completely, and i can't even get the site to load, **all** of my items' pictures are not showing up. so no one is bidding anymore, and my email inbox is loaded up with people telling me my pix are not showing. because i have had some bids i cannot reset the images but can only add links to the same images i uploaded at geocities. few people want to actually click on an image link, they will just see the images are red-x'd out, and go on to the next item.
i am a seamstress, not an internet expert. i am just trying to make a living while raising 3 kids. for health and other reasons, i am unable to work outside the home and we are dependent upon my income to provide what my husband's income doesn't cover. i don't know how to upload images myself or get them to show up, even though i *have* purchased website hosting for my websites, so for now i am trying to build business by using freebie image hosting at photobucket and geocities because they have formats that are relatively easy for someone like me to understand. it is difficult but i managed to actually create websites at www.fig-n-folly.com and www.plainlysimple.com. i feel all my time is wasted now because no one can see what i do. i guess it's back to the needle and thread for me and hope that someone will take pity on a poor seamstress. placing newspaper ads locally just gets me phone calls from people who don't want to actually pay for my work, but until now the internet had actually provided me with some decent pay for what i do. but now if no one can see what i do, and if no one knows i am here, what good is it?
I can understand your pain as I do some selling there myself. I am on MSN and I haven't been able to access photobucket either. Seems like that is the only major problem I am having so far but it is making things very difficult, not to mention the fact that there are other sites that I more than likely can't get to either if I have to until tihs is all straightened out. This is beyond darn annoying and I wish that people would quit viewing money as the most important thing in the world because it isn't.
Damn the corporate American pigs! If it wasn't for the pigs, there wouldn't even be the internet. Oh sure the universities would all be together, but it is their greediness for the dollar, that has matured the internet into the tech haven it is today.
Try browsing the internet with Lynx and see how you like the internet was before the evil corporations took it over.
I understand your frustrations but for every bad company out there, there are 100's of competitors waiting to pounce.
Hi there, I run a hosting company and I can setup a picture hosting section on my site for very cheap if you would like that. Please let me know what you think and I don't really care how much you pay, just think about how much bandwidth you use and how big your pictures are/how many etc.. let me know your price tag and Ill see what I can do for yeah.(price tag in year not monthly)
I seriously doubt that Cogent did not know this was going to happen. Level 3 does not seem to be the type of company to do something this serious without prior notice. Cogent is just spinning this to fit their blunder.
I see lots of people complaining about this problem and its insane. All you fools that say you are loosing money because you can't connect is your own problem. And you all are probably paying 29.99 and expect 100% uptime. Waaaaaaaa. If your livelyhood depends on the internet and you only have 1 connection you're an idiot. This sort of things happens all the time on the edge and doesn't cause smaller IP providers issues??? Ever heard of BGP?
Level3 has blocked any source/destination packets form ALL IPs in Cogents CIDR domain. BGP has no bearing to resolve that. Anyone using IPs is the Cogent CIDR domain from ARIN would be blocked.
Any decent provider will not be relying on one network and will have already rerouted traffic through other providers. This should be a non issue and has been for me and countless others. With the way you guys are talking, it sounds like the world is coming to end. Give me a break! The Internet is not dying! I can't get to Cogent through Level-3, so I just get to Cogent through WilTel.
This would be like if a road closed down and someone said that the nation's transportation system is down and we are all screwed! Give me a break! Just take another road, you idiots! CNet really knows how to blow stories completely out of proportion. Network Feud Leads To Net Blackout. Blackout my ass. If you have a blackout it's your own damn fault for not having an alternate route.
Every single Road Runner customer was affcted. Thats alot of people, for some reason RR didnt have a backup they could switch over too, the the problem lingered for almost 48 hours.
All of the websites that I have on a particular server were un-available to me through my ISP (Road Runner) during the October chapter of this dispute. Even worse, they were not available to customers of these websites.
Is there any update at this time?
I will have to change my web hosting for these websites if the problem is going to arise again next month. The host is addr.
