Hi all,

If there is anyone from Hawaiian Telecom here that could ping me off-list about 
a service issue I’ve been fighting for a week now and am getting no where 
slowly I’d greatly appreciate it. Or if anyone has a good technical contact 
there who might not be on the list and wouldn’t mind reaching out to see if 
they would be willing to contact me that would also be deluxe.

Here is a quick accounting of what has been going on in case anyone else it 
rings a bell for anyone and/or anyone else is experiencing it:

I observed multiple Fioptics services across Oahu bounce multiple times last 
week overnight Monday into Tuesday. First thing Tuesday morning I started 
getting complaints of some user’s internet service not working. I tracked it 
down to users being NAT’ing out one of the “secondary” public/static IP 
addresses. If I moved one of those secondary addresses to another physical 
device with a unique MAC address then the IP worked fine from there. The HTEL 
Tier 1 call center had little more to offer other than power cycling the ONT, 
which of course didn’t fix it. They also mentioned it was not possible to have 
multiple public IP addresses bound to the same MAC address and had no response 
when I asked how it was we’d been operating like this for over 2 years? So they 
escalated to tier 2 who was supposed to get back to me but never did, so I had 
to call back in and request Tier 1 get me to Tier 2 again and they told me 
someone would call me back and it would take 2 hours. 4 hours later, Tier 2 
finally calls back and says they cleared the ARP table on their side and I 
should try again, but also kept repeating the party line that a many to 1 IP to 
MAC configuration is not possible. I requested another escalation and was told 
there is none and my only recourse now was to have them dispatch a tech. So the 
tech came today and from what I’m told from the onsite folks they sent an 
installer who spent 2 hours on a chat with “the NOC” which is also not on 
island anymore they said. They offered no resolution and no escalation and told 
us we’d have to call back in to update the ticket to say that we’d tried his 
troubleshooting.

Thanks,
Todd
